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!

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!

My experience with Sasquatch Farm was extremely disappointing. I ended up with a reservation that I…read morenever confirmed, yet I was still held responsible for it. There were actually two reservation numbers associated with my booking, even though one was never completed because the business entered the wrong dates, forcing me to create a new reservation myself. When our camper had to be repaired, we called well before the stated 24-hour cancellation deadline to cancel. During that call, we were led to believe the reservation would be canceled. Later, we discovered it had not been canceled as requested, and the company refused to issue a refund. When we tried to resolve the situation, the conversation ended abruptly after the owner hung up on us. I have email records showing the confusion over multiple reservations and later correspondence acknowledging that a reservation was canceled only after the fact. The entire process was disorganized, communication was poor, and customer service was frustrating. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone booking here to keep detailed records of every phone call and email, verify any reservation immediately, and obtain written confirmation of any cancellation. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this business.

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!

The trail was much less crowded and trafficked than I expected, less maintained, and not well blazed. There were several downed trees, it was overgrown in some areas, and there were some splits that genuinely had no guide as to which was the trail and which wasn't. So, that was frustrating and I almost quit a few times and turned around. I'm glad I didn't. The Edward's Point overlook is stunning and the views of the Tennessee river are worth the effort. It was a much more challenging hike than expected and, I like to think I'm in decent shape as a runner and person who works out 5-7 times a week regularly. I was panting, my legs were burning, and some of the climbing and rock scrabbling was a bit tough. I would say, this hike isn't for a casual hiker - my husband would have never done it with me and been furious if I tried to take him on it. So, just know what you're getting into here. It ain't easy!

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.
