Nice place to take a walk, very popular place to go. You will find all activities (runners, walkers, bicyclist, dog walkers).I wold not recommend this if you are trying to social distance, or are hoping people will be wearing masks.Coming from the Rooster Front Park side it is a good half mile before there is a bench available to stop and rest .

This is a great park. You can bike, walk, hike, canoe, you name it. The scenery is very beautiful, especially in the fall time. The lake has good fishing. The biking/walking path is compacted gravel and is always in good condition. The spillway is a sight to see. You can play in the creek if you like. This is just an enjoyable park for the friends and family. There is a minimum fee to enter the park, but I am not aware of it. You can park in one of the auxillary parking lots for free and access the entire park.

Great place for long walks with your dogs. A lot of picnic areas with grills. They have playgrounds for the kids. There are paddle boats and it is on a beautiful lake. Something for everyone young and old!

Great park with water park, picnic tables, golf course, lake, fishing and outdoor center. Jeff Mullins Photography Adventures. Happy Hiking! Steele Creek Park is a regional park encompassing more than 2,200 acres. The parks main entrance is located at 4 Little Lane. The park was originally planned as a state park (Watauga) dating back prior to 1936. The planned state park was abandoned in 1945 and the property that had been purchased by the department of the interior was deeded to the State of Tennessee. It has a waterfall and great hiking trails.

Steele Creek park in a nice sized park conveniently located. There are several amenities on the grounds, a lot for kids including 2 playgrounds, ride on train, nature center and a splash pad. Entry cost $2 per vehicle at front gate, absolutely worth it. There is a parking lot with free entry to the grounds just not as close to any of the amenities.

Always played here when I was a kid. Brought back so many memories . Beautiful scenery, definitely coming back, forgot how much I missed it!!

Clean and well maintained. Nice drive. Everything recreational is closed due to vivid nut nice drive through

A tad over fished. Pressured but plenty of bait fish for a great bass lake. Just gotta find em. Plus the two dollar admission takes it down a star.. but all in all ok fishery.

Love this park! Love living right behind it so we can walk there any time.

LOOOVE this place. Absolutely beautiful for adults and fun for the kids. Perfect mixture.

Kids love coming here to get some energy out! Large grassy areas to play ball, nice playgrounds, fun times in the creek with warm weather.

Nice park but due to Covid the train and paddle boats wasnt operating and the nature center was closed. But that is understandable. Not from the area so hoping to go back someday when Covid is gone and all these things are opened back up.

Took the dog for a morning walk in the peace and quiet of the park; Dolly loved watching the ducks in the creek. Well worth the $2.00 fee. Lots of shade, picnic tables.

So peaceful, beautiful, nature at its best. You want want to leave. Oh!! did I forget the golf course and frisbee course. NICE

Park is awesome..great walks...great views.. clean...just a all-round awesome park....

A good play ground and plenty of room for picnics. Bonus is that it is so pretty and well maintained.

All around great place to visit. Whether its to get the kids out of the house , take a romantic walk, exercise , or play Frisbee/regular golf this is an ultimate place and very convenient access.

Love Steele Creek grew up going there every day just about and still go there.

Beautiful Park for little kids and adults. Wish more was open but thank you COVID. $2 admission for the day is a great deal.

This 5 and 1/2 mile walk with my girlfriend we got to see Ducks waterfalls geese butterflies in their cocoons along with their mama and it was a beautiful hike

What a beautiful park! Great spots to let the dogs play in the water or take a walk!

This park is one of sons favorites. It is a great place to bring a child to burn off that excess energy that little ones have. There is a train that thrills children of all ages.

Loved it but could have used better trail info and markings.

Great trails around the lake which are not too difficult. Nice water falls and bridges and clean!

Very beautiful place, would be nice to put a picnic table out on the deck for people to rest after the walk to get to the trail.

Great place to hike, fish, paddle boat and even ride a train. Times for train 1pm to 6pm. $1 to ride train

Great trails dogs are welcome peaceful scenic great place to walk

Great place with many playgrounds and a nature center. Tons of geese, birds, and fish

Nice park, large enough and some nice areas to walk. Play grounds, and splash pad for the kids. Lake for paddle boat, canoe, etc. Nature building with some critters on display. Bathroom facilities are nice and air conditioned. Par 3 golf, driving range

Great place for events or walking. Very quiet area and scenic.

Its a good place my only problem is that people arent social distancing at all and the bathrooms arent very clean

Large park with walking and bike trails. Fishing, paddle boats, a train for the little ones. Pet friendly and well maintained.

A beautiful place. Great walking and hiking trails.

More detailed map would be helpful and increased signage

Love this park. Had a birthday party here but weve been several times. The paddle boats are fun, the kids LOVE the little train ride and the nature center has an indoor play area as well. The splash pad is a lot of fun too. So much to do here, definitely one of our favorite parks in this area.

Beautiful walking paths, and the creek runs beside it. Lake is pretty.

As a newby to the area be sure to take a map with you on the trails. As well plenty of water! Me and my family loved the lakeside trail. And enjoyed a bit of hiking as well. Will definitely do it again before our trip is over!

It has great walking trails, and beautiful scenery.

Maybe its because Im from California but this place has anything and everything you could possibly want from the creek to the lake to a train that runs around for kids to ride on to a frisbee golf course and probably 100 picnic sites!! There is actually a trail that you can either write a bike down or walk down with your dog that goes 2 miles down to another park at the other end. Ive now been here three times over the last four days and I still havent seen the whole place!!

This park is beautiful...with the lake ana a stream running thru it...I liked the museum and the 2 kids playgrounds...there are plenty of places to bbq with covered areas...and a splash pad for the hot days...a train to ride also...this park has alot to do for a day for family fun

Awesome place to ride your bike or walk and enjoy being out in nature.

Nice lake with good fishing. Hiking trails are enjoyable.

Great place to hike, bike, or get out on the water. Everything is connected in a large loop trail that is well kept, and there is even a golf course. They also have a nature museum with a large insect collection. There is also a water park-like area and a train that loops on a track for the kids. Always a fun place to visit on a warm day.

Quaint nice park. Fall leaves beautiful!

Best mountain biking in Tri-cities! That is if you like steep trail hehe

We stumbled upon this gem while visiting the area. We had a lovely walk then a nice picnic by the creek. A cool place.

Beautiful and peaceful. The disc golf course is wonderful.

Paddle boats hiking an lots of room for kids beautiful views an a train an golf too

Nice park with a lot of shelters overlooking parts interesting attractions.

What a great little park! Found this lovely place when looking for a place just to sit and eat lunch. It is only $2 for a car to get in and totally worth it. The picnic tables by the lake were beautiful and it was so peaceful and quiet. Alot of geese there in the water and on the bank. Lovely little stream there as well. Would be great for kids, they have a splash pad for kids and playgrounds, paddle board and a train that runs part of the time too. Definitely worth a picnic day! Youll love it!

Had a reception there , very clean and well groomed.

Very nice park, has just about everything you might want in a park. It is huge and the hiking trails are great. Clean, wide and well maintained. You can walk for quite some distance around the lake. Great areas for kids including sash pads and small train.

Disc Golf- first time playing ( other than on wii and ps 3. ) Nice course!

Beautiful place, great to visit and great for kids! Only thing that I didnt like was the splash pad was closed due to the corona virus which we were really looking forward to.

I always enjoy the time I spend here with my family. Absolutely beautiful! ️

Wonderful park. Great Disc Golf course.

Its a great place to hike, bike, wade, walk your dog or have a picnic. I just miss the paddle boats, train & nature center right now with the covid19 pushing closures to these areas.

Love this beautiful park! Best thing Bristol has going for it!

Gorgeous park, clean, friendly park staff. Tbanks

Huge facility has everything u could want or need. 5 stars

Nice park, fishing not so great, but a great place for families to go gather

Great for biking, hiking, fishing but need state license. Can also play Frisbee Golf or Golf and great for kids and pets are welcomed too. Also has nice lie views and a nice nature center.

Steele Creek Park is of the most beautiful parks Ive seen it is lovely

You have to pay a small fee per car to enter this park (I paid $2), but it is well worth it since theres so much to do! They have a lake that you can rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats, a train for kids, several hiking and walking trails, a splash park, playground, picnic areas, and more! I spent about 3 hours here and I followed the hiking trails and the lake trails. I LOVE hiking and this was nice for me because I was alone but felt completely safe. The hiking trails were strenuous (if youre out of shape and not expecting a real hike- aka me), but they also have a nice paved trail around the lake that would be perfect for strollers or dogs. They also have public restrooms that are clean and great parking. Im definitely going back and dragging my friends here with me! Definitely worth a visit if you dont have time to go hike a real mountain, if you just want a nice park trip, or if you have kids!

Beautiful place. Love the walking path around the Lake. Plenty of places for a picnic. Splash pad for the kids and a train that gives rides during certain times.

Very pretty park. Nice trails

Clean place. Had a shelter near the creek, the kids were able to wade out in the creek and play.

Absolutely clean and beautiful park great for family fun!! Highly recommended!!!

Nice large park supporting a large number of family activities. Location is great and the staff is very helpful. Something for all ages available at this picturesque park.

Very calm beautiful place.

Beautiful park. Love the disc golf course

Steele Creek Park is a great place to take your kids, beautiful park. You can walk or ride your bike on the trail. They have a nice train ride for the kids. Creek on one side, lake on the other. I love this park!

A great place to picnic. Nice covered shelters and lots for the kiddos to do even a train ride.

My son loves Stills Creek Park hes actually having his birthday there his favorite thing to do is ride the train

Great place to go hike and bike and have birthday parties and things

Steel Creek Park is family and dog friendly, has some excellent amenities, and is a wonderful place for picnicking or a nice walk along the lake. The trail from the Broad Street parking to Rooster Front off Vance Dr is good for running, biking, or just a stroll. It has a nature trail, and several shelters and playgrounds. The splash pad stayed packed this summer. I love spending time there. The nature center is a great visit. The staff is friendly and helpful, and for safety it is subtly patrolled by Bristol Police. For a measly $2 it is quite a good deal.

Lovely place for a walk

Such a beautiful place and so many different things for the kids!

Beautiful park. Great hiking tails.

We love to hike, fish or just enjoy the day.. Beautiful !

Clean park great view

Great place to bring the family, fishing, hiking, biking. In the summer they have a splash pad for the kids.

Nice Park with lots of activities. Can walk to all activities

Well maintained park with lots of activities for year round use. Really enjoy coming here alone and with family.

A fun disc golf course

Perfect place to take your dog!!! Very clean

Great park for jogging. The fit trail inside of the paved road is right around a mile, and it is well kept. Did three laps, and we were the only folks using it. Well maintained park all around with great views of the water.

Well-maintained, extensive park with wooded single-track trails, flat beginner trails with benches, a Nature Center, a family friendly Splash Pad, a two-part disc golf course, and a neighboring golf course. During the summertime, patrons may also access the lake via a boat ramp and a childrens train ride. Restrooms are accessible year-round. Addotionally, shelters and an indoor event venue are available for rent. There is a low $2 vehicle entry fee into the main body of the park. The flat Lakeside Trail connects to a short, paved greenway system.

The park has something for everyone. There are some wonderful beginners trails all the way up to intermediate trails. There is also a lakeside trail that is gravel. Inside the main park area, there is a volleyball court area, disc golf. There are also plenty of picnic areas and shelters.

Great place to take your dog for a walk

Great place to walk or ride a bike. Be aware that see trails are hard to follow with leaves on the ground.

Really great park. Almost had the place to ourselves while we were there. Beautiful sights, trails, and picnic facilities. The splash pad was a great cool down on a hot day! I wish the local parks where Im from had those!

I had such a relaxing bike ride here last weekend! I plan to be here quite a bit when it warms up!

Excellent local park .. great place to cool off in

Its peacefully graceful and calm very fun for kids and parents

I loved it! Beautiful natural center! Staff very helpful! Very much enjoyed playing in the creek with my 10yr old son and his friend! Wonderful day!! Next time were will do the paddle boats.
