Description

Added by Clare Healy

This stunning overlook of the Tennessee River Gorge is a short 30 minute drive from downtown Chattanooga and can be accessed via a short gravel path. Might be one of the best views around!

To hit one of the best panoramic views of the Tennessee River Gorge, head into Prentice Cooper State Forest and head straight for Snoopers Rock. This 6,000+ acre protected park is home to over 35 miles of trails, campsites, and so much more.

To access Snoopers Rock, you can drive through Prentice Cooper and park just yards away from the gorgeous viewpoint. But if you are up for a hike, Mullens Cove Loop is an excellent, well-marked hike stemming from the viewing area.

Lots of hiking trails, but you can get to the actual overlook in just half a mile of you don't want a long walk. The view from the top is absolutely worth the drive up the mountain.

The trail begins on the side of the road leading away from the Tennessee River. The beginning of the trail is fairly...

Hike and Swim at the Middle Creek Slide

You park just west of the map waypoint on the wide shoulder (remember to lock your car, thefts have been reported in this area). The trailhead is really just an opening on the side of the road. Follow this to the creek and start making your way along the rocks upstream. The difficulty of the climb varies with the time of year, early summer will have lots of water making some spots more diffic...

Hike to Edwards Point

The Signal Point to Edwards Points trail serves as the southernmost leg of the Cumberland Trail, winding through part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. From the initial Signal Point overlook, the path descends into Middle Creek Gorge, passes through the Rainbow Lake Wilderness Area, then enters Prentice Cooper State Forest and Wildlife Management Area.The sweeping views...

Hike to Rainbow Falls

Most Rainbow Lake Trail hikers have seen or heard the majestic Rainbow Falls, but fewer have ventured down the treacherous path to the falls themselves. Albeit a bit daunting, especially if there has been recent rain, the path from Rainbow Lake Trail down to Rainbow Falls is a rewarding trek for those capable. The hike from the Rainbow Lake Trailhead to Rainbow Lake is casual and great for fir...
