Beautiful trail. We took the white trail. Was very beautiful. Our bunny loved it! So it’s bunny approved. lol. Wear hiking boots and watch the floor as walking since there’s lots of loose rocks and tree roots. Benches everywhere to rest, beautiful scenery of the river and we had a lovely experience. Wish I could’ve added some videos but app won’t let me.

We were so surprised to find such a beautiful park by accident. Had a beautiful 2+ mile walk with lots of birds and wildflowers. The beginning and end of the main trail are a little steep and are rocky, so a good pair of shoes are important. But it is well worth it for the exercise and the beauty. The river was also beautiful.

This a beautiful park for hiking but also for holding an event. There is a large screened in pavilion and Bridal suite available to get ready in. There are alot of options for a small event. The rates are very affordable too.

Secret little nature area we never knew about! Nice little network of trails, some that go right next to the Chickamauga Creek. Some area were a little grown over so we had to carry our little kids through the brush. The parking area is very big. There’s a small (brand new??) playground with swings, picnic benches, and bathrooms with actual soap and running water. Can’t wait to come back for another hike and picnic lunch.

This park is newly paved and has a dog park added to it. There are multiple entrances, and creek access for wading, fishing, or Kayaking. This is a popular let-in for a trip along the south Chickamauga Creek. You can take it upstream all the way to the TN river, but you will have to step out due to a low-head dam in Graysville.

Nice paved trail along the creek. I live the boardwalk the best. This trail is very dogfriendly and I am not sure how long the trail is, but we walked almost a mile before turning around and back tracked. There are signs warning of wildlife and reptiles. Fortunately, I didn't see any reptiles.

This is a pleasant place for an easy walk. The path is wide, clear, and wheelchair accessible! It wasn't crowded. I recommend mosquito repellent with deet or you will spend the whole time slapping yourself like an idiot! There's a little color to look at. The water is shallow. Some people brave getting in. I don't trust the water treatment facility down the path. Don't miss the tree knot that looks like a starwars rancor!

Love to walk this trail. Always peaceful and some pretty views and cool looking tree formation along the way. You can hear the interstate along the side but it’s not loud. The trail is paved the whole way and easy to push a stroller on! Which was nice for me.

Nice little plac to see and read , but not much of a place to get out of traffic. The monument is right on the edge of the road . Good reading but have to do it in a hurry. See it before the woke forces tear it down.

Very nice and well preserved portion of the Ringgold Gap Battlefield. Has some picnic tables and nice shade as well so it's a good place to have lunch. Very informative plaques and historical markers talking about the Battle itself and the beginning of the Atlanta Campaign. Highly recommend visiting if you are interested in our nation's history.

Nice place to enjoy the afternoon. The church was closed but we were able to walk around it. Bring a picnic. There is a Pavillion, soda machine and bathroom at the playground next door. Walk up the hill to an old graveyard behind the church. Great place to walk the dog. Perfect place to take the kids.

It took me years to finally be at the right spot at the right time. During my tour of the Atlanta Campaign I finally was able to stop by and go in to see the inside of the Old Stone Church. I remember speaking to a lady who had volunteered there for a number of years. I enjoyed talking to her and learning a little about the local area and its history.

Very clean and a nice place to get off for a clean restroom stop. We decided to use their picnic table for a lunch. They were covered and a very clean area with trash cans near by. They also have dog walking trails near by. This was one of the nicest, cleanest and a very well laid out rest stop

This was the nicest visitor center I have ever been in & I've seen plenty of them. The staff spoke & offered assistance. The facilities were clean. The property around the center was in good condition. Inside the building there was lots to see. There is a machine similar to a photo booth where you can change your background and sms send yourself the pictures. Vending & atm machine. It looks like there could be a place out back to have a small ceremony. The pay phone outside works well it had a dial tone.

This park is a great venue for tournaments. Lots of room, multiple concession stands, and a nice playground inside the fences for the kids to enjoy between games. Lots of restrooms. They could use some kind of flow management, though. There was a lot of confusion about lines and several times throughout the day I saw people just walk up and cut line into a stall that someone was walking out of. Unfortunately, the organizers for the tournament we attended didn't do a very good job. I wish our experience had been better. But the facilities were great.

The restrooms are the most dated I've ever been to. They're single stall with very little ventilation. Good thing was one young man who was a staffer worked really hard to keep the soap, tissue and stuff up and going. The fields were fine, concessions didn't accept digital payment, but the food trucks on-site did.

It took a few people a long time and a lot of work to get this statue made and finally on display. Not a whole lot of folks know who General Patrick Cleburne was, but more should learn. He was a leader who fit the hero mold, yet broke with conventions of the time. He deserves more notice. This is a nice, tiny park on the side of US 41. Not a bad place to stop for a few minutes.
