Chattanooga Travel OverviewChattanooga is the site of three Civil War battles. It is nestled in a valley through which the Tennessee River runs. It used to be a highly industrial town; but now caters mostly to tourists. Aside from the brand new Tennessee Freshwater Aquarium (they are currently building the Saltwater Aquarium) downtown; there is also nearby Lookout Mountain; Rock City (a bunch of caves and natural rock bridges that a rich woman made into a garden); Ruby Falls (a huge underground waterfall); and the Chattanooga Incline Railway. Downtown there is also an IMAX Theater and a children's Discover Museum. There are many good restaurants downtown; opening in an area that is gutting the old factory buildings and rennovating them to make way for new shopping areas. A stroll along the Tennessee River downtown will lead you to the largest and oldest pedestrian-only bridge. At the north end of the bridge is a real school for wood carvers of carousel animals; and a carousel made by the students. Just north of Chattanooga is the Booker T. Washington State Park. It says you have to pay a car park fee; but as I understand it; that's only if you are putting your boat into the water and are leaving your car there unattended. There are many road signs for renting a log cabin in the mountains. Coolidge Park; Frazier Avenue |
