How to Get Here
Getting Here
Whether you and your guests are driving through the mountains or flying in from across the country, getting to Kingsport is easier than you might think.
By Car
Kingsport sits conveniently near two major interstates — take I-81 if you’re coming from the north or south, and I-26 if you’re heading in from the east or west. Both routes offer beautiful Appalachian scenery along the way, so the drive is part of the experience.
