Chatanooga bound

If we set Chatanooga as our destination, what are best things to see and do and where is the best place to set up our rig?
  • The Aquarium, Ruby Falls and Rock City, then....go trout fishing on the Hiwassee, Walk Muir Trail. Rent bass boat or bring your own and fish hundreds of miles of water.
    Cloudland Canyon near Trenton ,Ga.
    Chickamuga Battle Field, south of town in north Ga.
    Foster Falls west off Chattanooga.
    Savage Gulf natural Area, requires hiking.
    Several historic Cherokee sites, one near Athens on the River dedicated two years ago. I just can't remember it all at the moment.
    The Tellico River east of Chattanooga about 100 miles and the road into the Smokies the Cherohala Skyway.
    Cherokee Lake in Cherokee National Forest east of Cleveland.
    Russel Cave west of Chattanooga in north Alabama.
    Nickajack Lake and the cave west of Chattanooga.
    The Coke ovens, Dunlap, Tn northwest of Chattanoosga.
    Nantahala River and National Forest,butts up against the Smokeis east of Cleveland Tn ,in NC.
    Ft Loudon, east of Chattanooga, toward Knoxville.
    A bunch more
  • Pardon me, boy
    Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
    Yes yes track twenty-nine
    Boy, you can gimme a shine
    Can you afford
    To board the Chattanooga choo choo
    I've got my fare
    And just a trifle to spare
    You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
    Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
    Dinner in the diner
    Nothing could be finer
    Then to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina...
  • Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls, TN Railroad Museum (do the train ride), the Aquarium
  • Chattanooga and the area nearby played a crucial role in the War of the Rebellion and there are many preserved NPS sites including the entire Chickamauga battlefield, sites on the Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge battlefields, Orchard Knob and the national military cemetery.
