6 days in Chattanooga Itinerary

Once saddled with the reputation of being one of the country's dirtiest cities, Chattanooga now boasts a pedestrian-friendly downtown with a network of leafy waterfront trails and free electric shuttles.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park and Point Park - Lookout Mountain Battlefields. Take a break from the city and head to River Rafting & Tubing and Adventures Unlimited. Change things up with these side-trips from Chattanooga: Huntsville (Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment & Harmony Park Safari), Mash & Hops (in Cleveland) and Fall Creek Falls (in Spencer). There's much more to do: see what you can catch with a fishing tour, have fun and explore at Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, examine the collection at Creative Discovery Museum, and sample the fine beverages at Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery.
