The reservoir formed by TVA's Fort Patrick Henry Dam on the South Fork Holston River borders Warriors' Path State Park and provides boating, fishing, and lakeside recreation for Kingsport residents. Smallmouth bass, walleye, and catfish are the primary game fish attracting local anglers. The lake's proximity to Warriors' Path campgrounds and marina creates a complete lake recreation complex. Paddling from the Warriors' Path launch to the lake's upper reaches offers outstanding scenery.
