I wanna find a cool place right in the middle of Hill city to take the kids. This place has awesome trail running hiking walking and biking around as well. It was just a day where I learned that this looks like there was an old house foundation or something cool that was here so it’d be fun now the history of this place. The bathrooms were also super clean. There was plenty of easy parking available.

Good workout and great views! Was muddy when I went but I had on boots so it was fine. Trail signs were a little confusing since some just took you to residential areas but lots of other hikers on there and has bathrooms and tables at the trail start.

Great hike and good workout. It's a shared biking and hiking trail but only encountered a few bikers. We love hiking with water views and there was only a small creek at the bottom of the trail. Says it is 3.3 miles but somehow we hiked 4 miles. Look for the miniature fairy village along the way.

Nice little trail system. Some people insist on trail running or walking with their dogs off leash. Just expect to have to deal with that until people learn to be considerate or leash laws are better enforced.

Overgrown but beautiful.

Great trail system, but if you are a mountain biker be careful. The direction is opposite for bikes vs hikers and changes daily. I find myself having to brake constantly or see riders on the wrong side of the routes. It's just more complicated than it should be and suffers from it.

I hiked here in the dark and only got lost for an hour so that's gotta say something good about it, right? Great views of Chattanooga.

Challenging tails for both hiking, running and bike. Restroom at start of trails. Good trails, clear of brush, trees and vines. Bring your own water, hike and have fun. Trails do wind up mountain-side so expect a good work-out. Trails are forest shaded, still warm in early September but not hot.
