Fort Southwest Point — Attraction in Kingston

MUST VISIT for anyone traveling near this city. This place is beautiful. The park has a great WALKING TRAIL that takes you around the entire park and views of the LAKE FRONT. Be prepared to see and hear alot WILDLIFE mainly SQUIRRELS and DUCKS. HISTORIC STRUCTURES on site. These structures are being restored but it is still fun and interesting to see and read about the history of this area. As you are walking on the trail there is EXERCISE EQUIPMENT such as pull up bars and walking beams. If walking is not for you then bring your gear and get a game of DISC GOLF started. I am not sure how many "holes" this course has but i am sure it will challenge players at all levels of expertise. Childrens PLAYGROUND area to take the little ones. SOCCER FIELDS and BASEBALL FIELDS on site. PAVILIONS are available for use/rent. RESTROOMS and PARKING on site and are HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE. Grounds are very WELL MAINTAINED.

I also noticed an area for music to be played with some seating by the lake. And some pinic tables in the...

To describe this place is a one word adjective, amazing! What an incredible asset to the history of middle Tennessee. And from talking to the curator very, few people know about it. To have such a place, and a curator that cares so much for the history and importance of it, truly should be both treasured, and screamed from the mountain tops that surround it. My husband, and family will be coming back as soon as it is at all possible. To everyone in Tennessee( from a Michigander that doesn't have a place like this) take your families, and tell your friends to take theirs, because it's only going to get better in the...
