About Kingston

Kingston sits right where the Clinch and Tennessee rivers meet to form Watts Bar Lake, making it a great fit for anyone who loves spending time on the water. Home to around 6,000 people, the town has a quiet, easygoing pace surrounded by East Tennessee scenery. It has plenty of history, including the reconstructed Fort Southwest Point and a classic 1800s courthouse, but daily life here centers around boating, fishing, and taking in views of the lake.

For outdoor recreation, Kingston City Park and Ladd Park provide boat ramps, paved walking paths, and green spaces right along the shoreline. Families send their kids to Roane County schools, and neighbors often gather at the lakefront amphitheater for local events and seasonal concerts. Sitting right along Interstate 40 also makes getting around simple, putting major employers and shopping in Oak Ridge and Knoxville within a comfortable 30- to 45-minute drive.
