Good exercise, but bring your bug spray!Walked all around Buffalo Mountain Park last month (August 2008). I've never encountered more bugs! Insects were constantly in my face. They went up my nose, in my ears, and were everywhere. The Skin So Soft bug repellant blend did nearly nothing to deter the bugs. If you hike here, be sure to bring some Deep Woods Off to make the ...3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

Johnson City need to 'lighten up"What a wonderful park. 14 to 15 miles of great trails.I have nothing against gay folks but to see so many men sitting around alone in cars is kink of spooky. The JC cops need to go back!
I agree that you are more likely to be attacked by a member of the general population than the gay group but for a family there is no need of PDA!0 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

The creeps are goneNow that the JCPD and other law enforcement have put a stop to the creep factor there wren't any more gay guys hanging out at the picnic area. It looks fine to me. I will be making return trips to this hike quite often since it does extent into the national forest. I may even take a long multi-night trip up there and see what I can find.2 of 4 Yahoo!

lighten upBuffalo Mountain is a great local park. The hiking is excellent to be in the city. You can actually hike after a day at the office.
The gay guys who hang out at the picnic are harmless. You are much less likely to have your car broken into or mugged by them than the general population. Just go enjoy the beautiful, well maintained trails and leave the gays alone. Life is good.1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
Don't bother!I have family here, so we checked out the local park here at Buffalo Mountain on our visit from Texas.
Actually, it's hardly a mountain at maybe 2000 feet, more like a big hill.

Peaks and Valleys...So there are ups and downs to this place. After all, it is a mountain. However, the downers here are the rather unsavory types hanging out around the place where you have to leave your car. Isn't there some way the park service could clear them out? Maybe not.
Anyway, there are quite a few things to do, so long as you're looking for ...4 of 6 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Buffa "yes" MtnI took my wife for the first time and we had a wonderful time. We hiked and just enjoyed all the nature that was around.
I thought the people who just drove around at the bottom of the mountain were a little weird but, other than that it was pretty good, to not be a state or national park. It is run by the JC and Co. parks and recreation.
Its a good place to hike or take a date on a picnic in the woods, and it has some great views.You did not find this review helpful.6 of 8 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue
