High atop Lookout Mountain’s most northern tip, there’s Point Park. Built in 1905 by the Army Corp of Engineers to commemorate the Battle Above the Clouds. fought during the Civil War in 1863. Although Most of the fighting took place on the mountainside and not in the vicinity of the park.
Carter Stevenson, commander of the three brigades that defended the area had positioned cannons atop Lookout Mountain to aid in its defense and to fire upon the advancing Union Army in Chattanooga. Once the cannons became ineffective, they were withdrawn at the end of that day, November 24, 1863, Stevenson was encamped in the area of the park, surrounded on three sides by a force ten times the size of his. Upon orders from General Braxton Bragg, Commander, of the Army of Tennessee, Stevenson withdrew his men southwest to Chickamauga Creek and Missionary Ridge.
Inside Point Park here, are numerous monuments to the men who fought and died. The New York Peace Memorial features a Union and a Confederate soldier shaking hands as a sign of reconciliation, and a small museum at the Ochs Overlook houses items of interest of the Civil War.
From Point Park it is possible to access many other sites through an intricate maze of trails. You can walk to Sunset Rock, where James Longstreet watched the Union Army march unopposed into Lookout Valley during the operations associated with the Battle of Browns Ferry. (1.1 miles,), walk to the Cravens House, 1.5 miles, or follow the eastern rim of the mountain. This trail is exceptionally beautiful at sunrise. They say.
An interesting part of the park that is often overlooked is the rock wall around the park and intricate design of the entrance. The Historic image of the gates of the Park, was constructed and modeled after the US Army Corps of Engineers Insignia. Just outside of the park is a visitor center with exhibits on the Civil War campaign for Chattanooga, including a large painting of The Battle Above the Clouds.

Chattanooga is the fourth-largest city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, with a population of 167,674 as of the 2010 census, and an estimated population of 171,279 in 2012.[7] The city, which has a downtown elevation of approximately 680 feet (210 m), lies at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. The city is therefore surrounded by various mountains and ridges. The official nickname for Chattanooga is the Scenic City, being reinforced by the city's growing national reputation as a haven for numerous outdoor activities. Several unofficial nicknames include River City, Chatt, Nooga, Chattown, and Gig City, demonstrating Chattanooga's claims that it has the fastest internet service in the Western Hemisphere.[8][9]
Chattanooga is internationally known for the 1941 song, the world's first gold record, Chattanooga Choo Choo, by Glenn Miller and his orchestra.
Chattanooga is home to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Chattanooga State Community College.
Attractions
Chattanooga touts many attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium, caverns, and new waterfront attractions along and across the Tennessee River. In the downtown area is the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, housed in the renovated Terminal Station and exhibiting the largest HO model train layout in the United States. Also downtown are the Creative Discovery Museum, a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music; an IMAX 3D Theatre, and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The Tennessee Riverwalk, an approximately 13-mile (21 km) long trail running alongside the river, is another attraction for both tourists and residents alike.
Across the river from downtown is the North Shore district, roughly bounded by the Olgiati Bridge to the west and Veterans Bridge to the east. The newly renovated area draws locals and tourists to locally owned independent boutique stores and restaurants, plus attractions along the Chattanooga Riverpark system, including Coolidge Park and Renaissance Park.[118][119]
The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park is located a short distance from the downtown area.
Parks and natural scenic areas provide other attractions. The red-and-black painted See Rock City barns along highways in the Southeast are remnants of a now-classic Americana tourism campaign to attract visitors to the Rock City tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The mountain is also the site of Ruby Falls and Craven's House.[121] The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is a steep funicular railway that rises from the St. Elmo Historic District to the top of the mountain, where passengers can visit the National Park Service's Point Park and the Battles for Chattanooga Museum.[122] Formerly known as Confederama, the museum includes a diorama that details the Battle of Chattanooga. From the military park, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Moccasin Bend and the Chattanooga skyline from the mountain's famous point or from vantage points along the well-marked trail system.[123]
Near Chattanooga, the Raccoon Mountain Reservoir, Raccoon Mountain Caverns, and Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden boast a number of outdoor and family fun opportunities. Other arboretums include Bonny Oaks Arboretum, Cherokee Arboretum at Audubon Acres, and Cherokee Trail Arboretum. The Ocoee River, host to a number of events at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, features rafting, kayaking, camping, and hiking. Just outside Chattanooga is the Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park. The Cumberland Trail begins in Signal Mountain, just outside of Chattanooga.
Festivals and events
Chattanooga hosts the well-known Riverbend Festival, an annual nine-day music festival held in June in the downtown area. One of the most popular events is the Bessie Smith Strut, a one-night showcase of blues and jazz music named for the city's most noted blues singer. The annual Southern Brewer's Festival and the River Roast festival celebrate such traditional Southern staples as beer and barbecue.
New events, such as GoFest!, the Between the Bridges wakeboard competition, Heritage Festival, and Talespin, complement well-established events, such as Riverbend and the Southern Brewer's Festival, and attract their own audiences.[124][125] Back Row Films is a city-wide celebration of film co-sponsored by the Hunter Museum of American Art, the Arts & Education Council, and UTC.[126]

Our visit to Point Park near Chattanooga Tennessee. This place is awesome and beautiful! Lot's of civil war history here with two museums.
HOUSE ABANDONED ON LOOKOUT MTN. BELONGING TO FOUNDER OF RICHARD CITY MAYOR OF CHATTANOOGA
If you looking for unique places to go in the Chattanooga area then you are in the right place. Check out the current state of Richard Dick Hardy's 1920's Tudor Revival Home in its current state. Filmed in May of 2015. This home is endangered and may be torn down due to lack of State funding. It is estimated to cost in the ball park of 1.2M to bring this home up to code for public use. I personally believe it could be used as a meeting or event location also having the ability to host weddings with the beautiful landscape. Enjoy and Subscribe! For more on Richard Hardy's life history visit the webpage of the School he built at and more information about the City that Richard built with Tom Mix as Labor supervisor (Later Western Movie Star) can be found at

30 Hikes in 30 Days - Chattanooga - Day 3 - Cravens House/Sunset Rock
Cravens House is on Lookout Mountain about 15 minutes away from downtown Chattanooga. It's a gorgeous hike to Sunset rock with a massive rock face half the hike.

Since hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2012, Coltin, Lindsay, and CamDog moved from Louisiana to Chattanooga. There they've mentioned on more than one occasion, and typically when comparing their new city to their old city of Baton Rouge, LA, that one can actually hike somewhere different every day of the month without having to drive further than an hour away.
That's where the idea for this series of very-shorts came from. The idea is to showcase some of the excellent outdoor spots Chattanooga, TN and the surrounding areas has to offer.
Many of the videos will be compiled of 4 second increments of whatever trail we choose. We show you where we'll be hiking, the feel for the day, and the coolest part about that in particular hike that makes it worth hiking. Then we do again the next day. Thirty in a row, rain or shine is the plan.
Thanks for following and be sure to check out AdventureitusProductions.com to catch all of our full length films of much greater adventures. From the AT, to kayaking from Nova Scotia to the Gulf of Mexico, to filming the oldest man at age 80 to paddle the entirety of Mississippi River.

RUBY FALLS UNDERGROUND WATER FALL CAVE GUIDE TOUR | Chattanooga TN
Ruby Falls is America's deepest commercial cave and largest underground waterfall. Located along the Tennessee River Gorge just south of downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls is one of Lookout Mountain's most popular attractions — and it was discovered completely by accident. In 1905, railroad construction forced the closure of the Lookout Mountain Cave, making it inaccessible to the public. Local cave explorer Leo Lambert sought to reverse this and gathered a team of excavators to help build an elevator from the surface that would lower visitors into the cave. Five years into construction, a team member drilled into an 18-inch opening that led to a new cave, where Ruby Falls now stands.
Located 1,120 feet below the surface of the mountain, Ruby Falls is America's deepest commercial cave and largest underground waterfall. Carrying out Lambert's vision, visitors can take an elevator down to the falls and learn about the various rock formations located along the path to the falls. The attraction also boasts a lookout tower, a playground and a ziplining adventure.
Recent visitors found the falls to be stunning and the formations in the cave cool, with many appreciating the fun atmosphere the guides helped create. However, one notable complaint among travelers was that the tour groups are too big for such a small space; some left feeling a bit claustrophobic. Others advised using the restroom beforehand, as the tour can last more than an hour and there are no facilities within the cave. Despite this, many said the tour was a great experience and recommend it to other travelers. Lets go see for ourselves. Ruby Falls is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. year-round. website.

Chattanooga, TN from Lookout Mountain
The view of the Tennessee River and Chattanooga, Tennessee from Lookout Mountain.
Lookout Mountain, actually a big hill plateau, is located at the northwest corner of Georgia, the northeast corner of Alabama, and along the southern border of Tennessee near Chattanooga. Lookout Mountain was the scene of the Battle of Lookout Mountain (November 24, 1863) during the American Civil War. Fought on the slopes of Lookout Mountain, the majority of hand to hand combat took place near Cravens' house about halfway to the summit. Lookout Mountains unique shape and location can in some conditions cause a unique weather phenomenon. After dawn, fog will descend from the cooler mountain top to the valley below and stop about halfway down. This interesting natural occurrence took place the day of the battle and is the reason for its romantic name, Battle Above the Clouds.
