The Tennessee Riverwalk

Continued our out & back Riverwalks going both north and south from the Rowing Club section. A few rowing and one swimming in the river …

Walked 2.5mi for our first Tennessee River view from the Riverwalk. Downtown Chatt and Lookout Mountain were a beautiful sight. Passed through an industrial area, marshes, and a bog. One heron, about 10 big turtles, and heard at least 1,000,000 cicadas (or so it seemed).

Great trail for a family outing!

Awsome trail .We biked it , elevation was fine .We turned around after lunch at Brewhaus pub . We liked the mile markers made the ride easy .First time on the trail visiting from Ontario ,Canada . Loving our bike riding in Tennessee.

Great paved walking trail

Love this trail! It’s very scenic and well-maintained with a lot of urban wildlife and nice views of the river and forests. Great place to go for a nice run or a long relaxing walk.

Path goes near river with great views. A few narrow areas which can be congested at times. Slow down and enjoy this beautiful area.

This is a wide concrete paved path. Plenty of parking at the north end near the Chickamauga dam and the south end in St. Elmo. Beautiful views of the river along the way.

Awesome bike ride!!

Paved walkway along the river by the dam. Lots of walkers and bikers. Plenty of benches to rest. I passed bathrooms and a couple of covered areas with tables. Nice walk! Combination shaded and sun.

Fantastic weather nice breeze off of Tennessee river many people walking, riding bike and saw another recumbent bike cat trike "Hey John"

30 mile riverwalk ride with Maggie

Great place to jog, cycle, take the dogs, or do some abandoned factory photography

Great Sunday stroll. 11-12 miles with a beer and oyster break at the Boat House halfway point.

The Industrial (many abandoned) end of the Riverwalk. No river or creek on this part.

The sun shone for about 4 hours. We snuck a good ride in between the raindrops. The only new find was the 1.5 mile "Virginia Avenue" Greenway extension, down to 55th Street in St Elmo.

Before dinner walk on Wednesday might. Ended up a brewery over the bridge.

Excellent trail. It gets crowded in town. But thins out when you get away from the city.

Beautiful greenery, but not much else. 

Dark and less traffic

This was an amazing trail. Completely paved, easy riding, and bathrooms all along the trail. The weather today on our journey was spectacular. The entire trail was well manicured with all the grass cut. Plenty of stopping points to have a picnic, take a rest, and enjoy the views.

Happy

Park at Hurbert Fry Center and rent a bike (sorry no electric). Plenty of free parking. Use https://bikechatanooga.com and buy a day pass for $8. It's the best way to see the city. This trail is on the Tennessee Riverpark so along the way are picnic tables, pavilions, etc.. It's well lit, paved and has water, restrooms and benches. It's delightful. You will pass Boathouse Rotisserie & Raw Bar - great place to grab dinner after your ride (free parking) - New Orleans bbq shrimp is a house specialty and to die for. This ride has bike swap outs all over the city. You can go past downtown out toward the riverbend. I like to swap out in front of Walnut Pedestrian Bridge. Bonus - there's a little ice cream shop there too - "The Ice Cream Show". So much to see, take your time and enjoy! My heart is in TN!!

Chattanooga gets Prettier by the Day!

It was very hot but 10/10 for unicycling or biking!

Nice safe riding surface nearly all the way. Very little street riding.

Quiet. Peaceful Cool morning fog.

Our starting point was at the fishing pear parking lot by the Chickamauga Dam. Quite a bit of this walk was behind industrial buildings and I must say that the walk was way noisier than expected. We could hear the traffic from Amnicola Hwy and all the industries nearby and you don´t get to see the river as much as you would think. I personally didn´t like it at all. It may get better once you go pass the Art District, but the section we did, it was completely a city walk, very boring in my opinion, with nothing espectacular to see, but a lot to hear. It was extremely noisy for me and not worth repeating it.
