Duffield, VA

 Devil's Bathtub

    A very popular hike near Kingsport, TN is Devil's Bathtub.  This is about a 4 mile roundtrip hike and considered a moderate hike.   There are about 7 creek crossings and several rocky spots on the trail - just be aware and watch your footing.  It is really probably best to just not try and stay dry - it makes it easier.  The water is COLD no matter what time of year you go, but there are several great swimming holes.  The best time to go is during the week or early/late in the day.  There is a loop trail that is about 7 miles if you're looking for a longer hike.  Also, be aware of the weather - this area is prone to flash floods, which have caused hikers to be stranded.
