The South Chickamauga Creek Greenway offers 12 miles of trail alongside the wooded Chickamauga Creek through eastern Chattanooga and the community of East Ridge. The path winds through a mix of landscapes, including parks, commercial areas, and residential neighborhoods.

We had so much fun on this “rail trail” that we biked it twice while in Chattanooga.

The trail goes under an active railroad and you’ll find elevated boardwalks over wetlands with steep inclines along the creek. You’ll also find a canoe and kayak launch here.

You are close to the active rail line, you can get a horn toot from the engineer if you are at the bridge crossing!
