The Tennessee Riverpark’s boat ramps and piers are underwater after strong storms moved through the Tennessee Valley on Tuesday night, according to a news release from the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department.

Two sections of the trail – one behind the STEM School Chattanooga and another behind the water company – are closed due to flooding.

Tornado watches were issued for several counties, including Hamilton, until 1 a.m. Wednesday.
