If you’ve lived in Chattanooga long enough, you’ve most likely heard Stringer’s Ridge name-dropped in casual conversation, and you know the views from Signal Point are hard to top.
But mainstream trails are so 2017.
While the Scenic City’s heavily trafficked hangouts have secured their popularity for a reason, trails with less name recognition also bring something to the table. For many, that something is the promise of seclusion. For others, it’s the thrill of discovering something new.
The region is filled with hundreds of these unique finds, so we asked the Chattanooga Hiking Club and the Soddy-Daisy chapter of the Tennessee Trails Association to share a few of their favorites closer to home. Their suggestions should be enough to whet your appetite. With so many hidden gems just waiting to be unearthed, there’s no telling what you could discover.
