This is an easy hike (1 mile) to a swimming hole and swinging bridge. From there you have the option to loop around to make it a 3 mile hike total, or head to Signal Point for a longer hike.

I love the Riverwalk! Consider renting a bike (there are multiple stations along the Riverwalk) and biking from the dam all the way to St. Elmo. Or just from the dam to the Art District and grabbing lunch at Rembrant’s

Some of my favorite views of Chattanooga. One of the best spots for any history buff as well. Consider adding a hike to Sunset Rock after checking out the small museum.

Maybe grab some ice cream at Clumpies and walk across the bridge. My personal favorite is grabbing coffee at Mean Mug & watching the Ironman swimmers from the bridge if you’re lucky enough to be in town the day of a race.
