Steele Creek Lake is the centerpiece of Steele Creek Park. There are trails around the perimeter of the lake for hikers, as well as pedal boat rentals for those that wish to get out on the water.

If you're looking for a hike in Damascus then you should start here in the city park. Not only does the Appalachian Trail pass through but so does the Virginia Creeper Trail. The Appalachian Trail will take you up to the ridgeline as you hike out of town, while the Virginia Creeper Trail sticks to the low ground and follows the creek through the valley.

In 1907, Fred Johnson began acquiring land to establish a lake as a water source for the town. He later constructed a dam on the lake. The trail surrounds the reservoir, featuring picturesque bridges that provide stunning views.

The Steele Creek Park Lake is the centerpiece of the park. The mountain biking and hiking trails circle around the lake on both sides and provide varying difficulties of trails and obstacles for riders. The Lakeside Trail is one of the flatter and smoother (thus more popular) trails in the park, but you can branch off of this trail in several different spots if you want a harder or longer hike.

The Garden Mountain Lookout Tower serves as the main viewpoint on the Holston River Mountain ridge. You can actually walk up the steps and go into the lookout if you aren't too scared of heights. The long climb up to the lookout is worth the views you get out onto the river and into Virginia. There are a handful of trails in Bays Mountain Park, and all of them are super well-kept. This is one of the best places to go mountain biking in the area; just be aware that there is a $7 day use fee.
