Steele Creek Park - Bristol, TN

Beautiful Steele Creek in Bristol, Tennessee.

Many residents of the Mountain Empire have spent some time at Bristol, Tennessee's Steele Creek Park enjoying the trails and the beautiful lake, and for good reason. At 2,000+ acres, Steele Creek is the third largest municipal park in the state, and every bit of it is absolutely gorgeous.

Yesterday afternoon I took a leisurely walk along scenic Steele Creek, snapping a few pictures along the way. The views of Steele Creek Lake are hard to beat, but I prefer spending my time enjoying the scenery along the creek - especially on the hot, muggy days that are typical for the Bristol area.

The spot featured in today's picture is just a hundred yards or so from the place where Steele Creek flows into the lake. The short walking trails and footbridges in that area of the park were deserted yesterday afternoon except for a young boy and teenage girl who rode past me on their bicycles after stopping a couple of times to wade in the creek. It was a perfect picture-taking afternoon, and as always, I really enjoyed my visit to Steele Creek Park.
