5 Things to Do in Johnson City TN

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

There's certainly no shortage of things to do in Johnson City. In this post, I've provided five popular choices that have several excellent online reviews.  

 

 

#1 - Tweetsie Trail

Due to the unique sound of the train whistle, the railroad and trains are affectionately referred to as the “tweetsie.”  This picturesque trail is ideal for walking, hiking, running, biking, etc. It’s on a fairly flat grade in a lovely, natural setting. When it's completely finished, the ten mile route will be the longest rails-to-trails design in Tennessee!

 

#2 - Winged Deer Park

Accessibility to parks and recreational areas is crucial to the well-being of any community. Winged Deer Park offers a variety of fun resources including ballfields, batting cages, a disc golf course and much more. It’s a beautiful, large park that offers something for people of all ages. 

 

#3 - Johnson City Public Library

Much like parks, libraries are also a vital part of any community.  The Johnson City Library is exceptional. The facility is modern and the staff has a reputation for being very nice and accommodating. They are committed to finding whatever you need, even if it’s not currently on site. They offer books, magazines, DVDs computers, and space for various types of programs. 

 

#4 - Hands On! Regional Museum

This is a popular place for children under the age of 14. The museum includes a plethora of things to do that are very entertaining and educational including giant bubble-blowing and a play grocery store. Kids can learn about safety and mechanics while "driving" a real car. There are all kinds of science experiment activities, and a Tesla Coil demonstration (very cool).

 

#5 - High Country Angler Fly Fishing

Johnson City and many other areas in east Tennessee are perfect for fly fishing.  High Country Angler provides guided tours for fishing, float trips, and wade trips. They even provide equipment. Check out their excellent website to learn more about their guided tours. You can also see current fishing reports there.
