     You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Wolf Laurel if you're here, and going for a hike on the Scarlet Oak Trail is always a perfect adventure. Painter Pond is a relatively wet place commonly with a lot of rainfall; the month of May is the wettest with most of the rain while October is commonly the driest month. Throughout the months of summer highs here at Painter Pond get into the 80's. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures  
   sink down into the 60's. Highs during the wintertime are typically in the 40's, and after the sun is down through the winter temperatures at Painter Pond fall into the 20's. This lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at Bristol-Kingsport KOA while you're here at Painter Pond, and if you've had enough of Painter Pond, Kingsport Reservoir is nearby.
This lake is so wonderful. A nice nearby hotel is Hampton Inn Kingsport TN, and the beauty of mother nature reveals
 
               herself at Gathel Spring. Nolichucky River has a nice whitewater paddling spot close by, and close by you find the Patty Ridge Trail which is a magnificent hiking trail. So many cool things to do here at Painter Pond, too magnificent to be true. In case you don’t mind getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Nolichucky River, and the Clark Creek Trail is a good hiking trail close by.
During your visit to Painter Pond you'll meet some people from Johnson City for sure, of course you could also explore Bays Mountain Reservoir while you're here; it's not far at all. MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center is a perfect place to get some rest; if you came for an overnight stay Davy Crockett Birth Place Park is a good place to camp.

Horse Creek Campground
15 miles away
I live at horse creek and while it is very nice for rough camping and hiking it offers no fishing, white water rafting or skiing within an hour drive.  Davy crockett state park is not picturesque it is a big grass field with a very very small box called a cabin that davy crocket supposedly lived in.  Don't waste your time. There are much, much better places if you want fun and sightseeing.  If you want quite and picturesque, then by all means come to horse creek and don't forget to take your trash with you...it is of course my back yard...
