The Chattanooga residents parked at Cravens House and walked the mountain trail up to Point Park. Officials with the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park said revenue from the increased fees will pay for important maintenance and improvement projects within the park.
"This modest increase in fees will allow us to continue to protect, preserve and share the special places here at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park with current visitors and future generations," park Superintendent Brad Bennett said in the release.
Current projects include restoring mountain-top vistas and repairing the iconic New York Peace Monument at Point Park. Additional revenue will be used to expand visitor programs and services, restore additional portions of the 9,000-acre national park, and produce new, permanent exhibits at the Ochs Museum in Point Park.
