As the state of Tennessee and the local county and city governments ease restrictions amid the novel coronavirus, many public Chattanooga area greenspaces have reopened.
While some activities, like using playgrounds, are still prohibited, there are miles of trails and acres of parks that can still be enjoyed.
In adjusting to new normals, residents may find that some local trails are easier than others when it comes to social distancing.
Life-long trail enthusiasts Randy and Kris Whorton, founders of local non-profit Wild Trails, said that people are adjusting in their own personal ways.
From stepping off a trail to let others pass, to leaving space in between cars in parking lots, they have seen people continue to utilize these areas, though many with added caution.
