Beautiful short hike on a rocky hill. The trail was lovely with lots of trees and I enjoyed seeing…read morethe waterfall! Such a beautiful spot in nature! I came during rainy season and the rocks were definitely slippery so please be mindful of that and were your hiking shoes to stay safe. If you come during/after the rain the falls run pretty good.

Nice easy trail. We came at the last week of October so we didn't really see the waterfall, but I…read morebet it looks great in the Spring. The trail was still stunning though with all the fall foliage which is the reason why we came. None of us are particularly fit but we managed just fine took us just so ver an hour each way. Next time I would bring a picnic. Another thing, check the weather before you go. It was quite warm for late October, we were shedding layers like there was no tomorrow. I wish I had worn a tank top. Also the terrain is not difficult but hiking shoes are definitely the best option, but you'd be fine wearing sneakers.

There's a Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center that has restroom facilites, a gift shop, and displays to set the scene of the battle. There's limited free parking at the lot behind the center, otherwise you have to pay for street parking. Lookout Mountain Battlefield is actually quite large- about 3,000 acres of land on the summit and slopes of Lookout Mountain. Point Park is much smaller at 16 acres, but it hits all the highlights with dramatic overlooks, monuments, and cannon positions to help understand the Battle of Lookout Mountain. There's plenty of hiking here as well, with trails to Ochs Museum & Observatory and beyond. If you're not a history buff or don't like hiking, there are still amazing views to be enjoyed!

LOL --- this is my first "non-food" review, but this place is so beautiful --- it needs to be…read moreshared! I was looking for somewhere beautiful to get a panorama of Chattanooga (+ more) from an awesome vantage point, and I found this spot on Google. It's a bit of a winding drive to eventually arrive to the site, and when you do, parking is extremely limited. It's either you got luck or God on your side, to park right where the "rock" is, but I was very fortunate. The steps are very large and irregular getting to the actual "site", and if you are not fit --- just go slow. However, once you arrive --- it's like heaven. A view from the heavens overseeing the Tennessee River Gorge, Prentice Cooper State Forest, and valleys. Spending 20-30 minutes after getting up their will clear your mind. A view that you should not pass up!

Very steep steps but has some beautiful views! Not a far walk if you're looking for a quick hike.read more

It's so pretty and peaceful in this park. The park is inside a residential neighborhood. It…read moreconsists of lush gardens made into dedicated sections of all types of greenery and perennial flowers, bushes, waterfalls and stonework. In the quiet background, various song birds pleasantly sing. The residential area is located in a hidden alcove about two miles from DT Chattanooga, and is very well kept up. There is one picnic table if you wish to use it and a couple of small trails. If you go, keep in mind the local residents don't keep their dogs on leashes, nor do they have fences keeping them on their property. One time we came here a large dog came charging at us full bore from a grassy yard while we were on a walk. Sometimes you can tell whether a dog is friendly or not, but the anxious run by the dog made me think not. Luckily, we hadn't walked too far from my car, so it was easy to get back, which is what we did. It felt like the owner of the dog didn't want 'outsiders' walking in what is a public park. He was standing there without giving the dog commands. Go figure. Keep in mind there is minimal to no parking, so you will most likely have only 2-3 parking spots at the far end of the park.

Once on the park, there is a volleyball net already set up so bring a volleyball if you'd like to have a game going. Two covered pavilions provide sun and rain shelter, one with a fireplace where you could successfully grill up a large barbecue, as well as numerous picnic tables to sit at to set up food and eat. A ceiling fan is above as a bonus. Also, several forested trails both short and long can be enjoyed. You also have a wide open area where the family could set up a softball game, bocce ball court, cornhole, or any of the other games requiring open space. The only drawbacks I saw here are there is no playground equipment for the wee ones, plus there is not a public restroom. Bring bug spray in the summer as the biting bugs are plentiful.
