    Signal Point - Millipede

    This was a great, easy trail--about 1.6 miles round trip and took us around 65 minutes, including…read moretime spent at the waterfall. The waterfall at the end is beautiful and made a perfect spot to rest. We let Luna take a quick swim to cool off, but were very cautious about her not drinking the water. I had done quite a bit of research beforehand and found mixed reviews about the water quality. Most concerns centered around contamination within 24-48 hours after rainfall. Since it hadn't rained recently, we felt confident it was safe, and thankfully, Luna had no issues after swimming.

    We were in Chattanooga for the weekend and wanted to visit Signal Mountain. In our limited research…read morewe heard that Signal Point was a special place to visit. We learned there are different ways to get to the top of Signal Point but all are pretty dang curvy and steep. We enjoyed our drive and the area appears to be very charming and peaceful. The Signal Point park is located adjacent to a residential neighborhood and is very well marked and easy to find. There are approximately 20 designated parking spots. It was a very cold afternoon so we bundled up and walked down to the overlook. It was really beautiful, with the Tennessee River flowing below and the array of rock ridges. The history of the area is incredible as well, there are signs within the park to help educate guests on the challenges of those who came before us. We learned that during the Civil War the river was a natural highway through the region but sections of rapids were impassable for large vessels. Supply boats bound for Chattanooga had to be pulled by ropes through the man-made side channels which strengthened the Union army for Sherman's advance on Atlanta in 1864. We also learned when the Confederate forces laid siege to Chattanooga in September 1863, they cut off telegraph lines to the city. The Federals, in order to move messages from Chattanooga, a series of signal stations were established. One of these stations was Signal Point. Incredible history and beautiful location all in one. We would highly recommend to others visiting or living in the area.

    Falling Water Falls Trail - Top of the (currently dry) falls

    Falling Water Falls Trail

    Nice Short Hike And Nature Visit…read more Located in a residential neighborhood you park at the 90 degree curve in the road across from a house. There are signs... This is probably just under a mile each way to wiggle through the woods and down to the creek. Follow the water flow maybe 800' and you shall find the waterfall. Almost across from the trail that brings you to the creek is a little hill with a small trail that brings you to a good viewpoint on a rock ledge to see the falls from a better angle than straight down. I am not sure if a different trails brings you to the bottom of the fall, maybe rappelling down is the easier way... What are you waiting for? Take a hike!

    Falling water falls trail is an out and back trail that has a trail head that can be found in a…read moresmall neighborhood with just a few parking spots at the trail entrance. This is marked by a small brown sign (in our case, on this day the sign was covered with trash). We came here on a day of outdoor adventures, coming from Prentice Cooper state forest, taking several "scenic" routes and finally finding a parking spot at the entrance. When we walked this trail, which truly is a 0.3 mile slightly downhill to flat trail, there was only one other family on this trail, making it pretty isolated, but also making the views all the more sweeter. Here's the thing...maybe it was the extreme and relentless heat this summer or the lack of rain, but as we continued to walk down the trail, neither of us could hear water! Sadly, we didn't hear any water because on this day, there was none. The falls were dry, being limited to a trickle. There are photos of the falls that look lovely. With this said, even if the falls were running at full capacity, you would be looking at them from the top of the falls, not head on. You would have to come at it from below to see that. If the falls were running, instantly this is a 5 star review for me. Because it was dry,i'm only giving it 4 stars, because it still was pretty to look at, and a nice walk overall. The address listed for Falling Water falls trail puts you right near the parking lot. I don't think this is a residential address, although there are homes directly across from the lot. I'd highly recommend coming here after it has rained a few times or at least one heavy time. I'll have to come back myself when it does!

If you continue down the gravel road about another half mile on your left you can drive straight to it . A 30 foot walk at most. Made a great memory there and I vow to return every year on our anniversary.

    Worth it! It was our…read morefirst visit to Chattanooga when we were made aware of Prentice Cooper state forest but we didn't get a chance to go. On our second visit to Chattanooga we had no doubt we were going, so we set out to find this place! What I did, for reference, was punched in "Prentice cooper" into google, and came up with the address: 3998 Game Reserve road, Chattanooga TN 37405. This address gets you on the trail, which turns into a gravel road. Continue to drive, passing a shooting range, tower on the right side of the road, and a small cemetery on the left. You'll finally see a clearing with fence and a gravel road that branches off to the left. We walked down this gravel road after parking, but there was a large pick up truck and a couple bikes already down there so you CAN drive down this way. I have an AWD suv, but I also saw cars coming in and out so it's accessible to most vehicles I think. The view, once you see it, is as grand as you can believe. The Tennessee meanders in and out and around in front of you, which is stunning to view. This IS one of those 'at your own risk parks', I say this because while my girlfriend and I were there, there was a deep pit in my stomach that would swell every time one or both of us got close to the edge. There's nothing to hold on to and there's no rails. Pro tip....don't fall! Prentice Cooper is a must if you're in the Chattanooga area. I'd love to see it in the fall when the leaves change, but whenever you can go, DO GO! Easily 5 stars!

The parking lot was filled and there were not any spaces available. ~~~~~~~ This historical marker is located near the shoreline of the Tennessee River in the parking lot of Suck Creek Public Boat Access to the Tennessee River. During the earlier days of Chattanooga in the Union only supply route followed a long and difficult road that ran from Bridgeport Alabama to the Sequatchie Valley on the east side behind over Waldens Ridge on the Anderson Pike. The road began descended towards the north of here and then ran on the bank of Tennessee River to Chattanooga. ~~~~~~~~~~~ On October 8 the fourth Alabama Volunteer took the position along the overhang and bluffs of the Tennessee River. The Confederates acted as the sharp shooters to shoot down the mules that are of the wagon trains of the enemies that was then compelled to pass between the bluffs that were on the river on the opposite side. ~~~~~~~~~~~ This made the wagon trains to detour and descend the mountain along the planked road into Hamilton Valley where an officer wrote that this route was a rickety insecure makeshift on the road was narrow in certain places that two teams that passed both. In October supplies barely trickled into the besieged forces in Chattanooga starvation seemed like there possibilities. In late October the Union forces seized Brown's Ferry and opened an easier supply route. It had wagons that rolled in Chattanooga that was on a safe route dubbed the Cracker Line for the wagon loads of hard track and the supply situation became less desire in Chattanooga. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suck Creek Road continues climbing up the winding wooden lanes that have panoramas while streams criss cross in opposite directions with pull overs. I have seen people parked on the shoulder. I thought after our visit at Suck Creek reaching Signal Point Reservations is an access point for the Cucumber Trail that stretches over several hundred mile acres across the Cucumber Plateau. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
