South Chickamauga Creek Greenway

Very fun

August, 2024 by 6fgsrpdtdg

Really fun trail. Lots of bridges and boardwalks beside the river. Felt like being in a tree fort at times.

South Chickamauga Creek Greenway

Rode it to the dam.

July, 2024 by rx94p4h8xz

Fun ride new record of 41 miles on my e-bike. I’m sure I could have hit 50 no problem.

Ridge Ferry Trail

A Nice, Casual Little Loop

July, 2024 by anthony.johns.6

This is a nice little loop now with the opening of the bridge near the baseball stadium. The only real point of issue on my ride was that in the park area on the east side of the river roots were pushing up the pavement to make for a pretty bumpy stretch down that bit of the trail. Once through that though, it was mostly smooth riding.

I do hope for more spurs and expansions to allow for additional access to stores and shops so that it can be used for much more than just joyrides.

You won't find many amenities on this trail but it's a pretty and peaceful ride. There are some parts of the trail that cross busy roads if you want to complete the entire trail.

Tennessee Riverwalk

Beautiful ride, takes you right into downtown if you want to stop for refreshments. Clean facilities along the ride and very well maintained. Connects to the South Chickamauga Greenway to extend the ride

South Chickamauga Creek Greenway

Amazing and LONG boardwalks!

May, 2024 by suem.lamb

This is our first time in Chattanooga and thrilled to find this trail. The long boardwalks take you above the Chickamauga Creek into the trees looking down. So cool! If you like nature, this trail is a must. We started the trail at Camp Jordan Baseball field. It links up with the Tenn Riverwalk Trail, which we took into downtown for lunch at Tony's. After our lunch we went a bit past our Greenway Trail connection to see the dam and then returned to the baseball field on the Chickamauga Greenway... a total of 35 miles. Easy ride on an eBike.

South Chickamauga Creek Greenway

A nice ride that could be even better.

March, 2024 by prial

We began our ride from a parking lot off Camp Jordan Park Road. Riding through the part was lovely, but signage advising the South Chickamauga Creek Greenway was non-existant so we missed crossing the necessary bridge to the trail. Once corrected, we found that the entire trail was poorly signed, having to ask for directions along the way so we didn't get lost. The "paved" section on the levee was so badly paved, it is better described as gravel, and the cross winds along the levee were extreme. The second half of the ride offered a better paved and boardwalk surface and crosswinds were blocked a bit better by the landscape. At the northern trailhead we turned south on the Tennessee Riverwalk to extend our trip. This was the best part of our day! We enjoyed our adventure, but would recommend beginning at a trailhead after the 6 mile marker.

Fantastic

Best bike ride in Chattanooga for me. LOVE IT!

Tennessee Riverwalk

Riverpark trail is worth the ride

October, 2023 by jduffy3124

We started north and east of downtown at Tennessee Riverpark Curtain Pole Road. Free parking! There are several places along the trail like this, so look around. In downtown, you’ll have to pay for 2hr parking at Ross Landing. It was a really nice ride out to the end of the trail at the dam and back. Mostly park-like with some industrial sprinkled in as well. All of this area is well manicured. We saw areas where a nearby business had dedicated the improvement to their employees. We then made our way downtown. It’s beautiful, with a lot of pedestrians so take care. There are a couple of switchbacks on the trail there, but you can do it! Downtown you’ll need your gps maps to confirm the bike routes. The Walnut Street Bridge affords a great many views. As we made our way west and south, the trail went through some of the older industrial areas and ends near the Lookout Mountain Railway. A great fall ride for us.

Great Boardwalks

October, 2023 by barbscondo

We have done this trail twice from Camp Jordan. But if you want a shorter ride and experience all the amazing boardwalks start at Hawthorne Trailhead. Immediately you are on a short section of boardwalk and then continue on a lovely paved trail through the forests. You will soon hit two more amazing long boardwalk sections high in the trees. In a total of about 5 miles you will get the best of the trail.
