Community
Because Chattanooga lies in the Cumberland Plateau, Chattanooga is chock full of mountains, hills, rivers, and lakes. Hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, paragliding, golf, and tennis are just a few things you could do here.
The Tennessee River runs literally through the center of our downtown area. Just north of the Chickamauga Dam, we have Chickamauga Lake, which has nearly 800 miles of shoreline, so we have all manner of water sports and water-related activities.
Chattanooga has so many outdoor recreation opportunities that it is ideal for folks looking to lead an active lifestyle.
For two years, the city was awarded Outdoor Magazine’s “Best Town Ever” title. The City even has a unique Parks and Outdoors Department division called “Outdoor Chattanooga,” which offers archery, mountain biking, kayaking, and rock climbing classes.
