Explore Chattanooga Summer 2024

Glenn Falls via St. Elmo Trail : A short but sweet hike can be found at the base of Lookout Mountain right next to the St. Elmo playground. You can either park at the playground or the Ochs Highway parking area, and the trail will take you up to beautiful Glenn Falls (only about a half mile from the trail head) with plenty of large rocks to scramble on! Make sure you stop by Clumpies Ice Cream in St. Elmo after you’ve worked up a sweat! These are a just a few of the many hikes available during your visit to Chattanooga, not

including places like Signal Point on Signal Mountain, the lovely trails at Enterprise Nature Park, and, if you’re lucky enough to be visiting on the first and last Saturday of each month, the stunning waterfalls at Lula Lake Land Trust! If you’re feeling more adventurous than just a short trek, make sure you visit the 64 miles of trails at Cloudland Canyon, or visit the 5,300 acres of the Chickamauga Battlefield. Whatever you do during your visit to Chattanooga, don’t let it go by without taking in the city’s opportu nities to get lost in the woods!

Did You Know? There are over 150 miles of hiking trails on public lands within a 15-minute drive of downtown Chattanooga. Area parks, greenways, and natural areas hold close to 100 more miles.
