Geocache Description:

We decided that for our first event, there would be no better place than Bays Mountain Park. There is a $4.00 dollar parking fee.

We will have a meet and greet at the above coordinates around 9am. Afterwards a group will be leaving and will be hiking Lake Road, there may be muddy spots, some hills, but not too steep, so please wear appropriate shoes/boots. Total will be 4.5 miles and many caches along the way. We invite everyone to join the hike but is not mandatory. Please pack a lunch and bring plenty of water. We will be out for an extended period of time, but will be stopping for lunch. Also might be good idea to have first aid kit, just as a precautionary measure. Geodogs (on leashes) are welcome to explore with you on this road, but are not permitted in the animal enclosure areas. Look for the signs to indicate those areas. Come explore Lake Road at Bays Mountain Park in Kingsport, Tennessee. This road, popular with mountain bikers, circles the interior portion of the park for a total distance of about 4.5 miles. The park has many caches already in place. The bookmark list of Bays Mountain caches lists everything from traditionals, puzzles, multicaches, letterboxes, and earthcaches. The possibility of getting five different cache icons in one day is POSSIBLE! THINGS TO KNOW: There is a $4.00 entrance fee per car/truck per day. The park offers a Nature Center and Herpetarium with public restrooms, various animal habitats, fee-based programs which include both a ropes course and a zip line, a planetarium, and a lake barge trip--all located near the parking lots. While the park is open daily, (with exceptions for Christmas and New Year's Day) the park operating hours change seasonally and park gates are locked upon closing times. You will be sharing your exploration along Lake Road with mountain bikers and other hikers as your venture into a more remote section of the park. Telephone reception may be spotty. There are various hazards which include black bears, venomous snakes, poison ivy and other critters which may or may not be a problem for you while on your adventure. Prepare accordingly.
