Dog Gone Easter Egg Hunt
The Dogs and their owners were out at Resevoir Park on Saturday, the day before Easter to find eggs, enjoy treats, music and more!
A hop, skip and a jump over Signal Mountain lies Dunlap, a town with enough activity to keep anyone busy when the crowds of Chattanooga become too much. This Sequatchie County town has the outdoor scenery and hospitality to make it worth visiting time and time again.
Downtown Dunlap has everything you’d expect of a small town in Tennessee – great shops, antiques and all of the charm that you can fit. And if that weren’t enough, outside of town, scenic overlooks are aplenty.
