Don’t let the industrial area the new, 3.5-mile extension of the Chattanooga Riverwalk wanders through fool you. Although it offers views of Chattanooga’s once thriving manufacturing base to the south, to the north are scenic views of the Tennessee River and Moccasin Bend National Archaeological District.
The $16 million extension, which had its grand opening Friday with remarks by Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke, now connects the former end of the riverwalk behind Cameron Hill to St. Elmo at the base of Lookout Mountain.
Begun in 1987 and now 13 miles long, the riverwalk eventually will create a 270-degree arc around the Scenic City, from the foot of Lookout Mountain to Camp Jordan in East Ridge.
