About the park

“In 1863, Union and Confederate forces fought for control of Chattanooga - a gateway to the Confederacy. The Confederates were victorious at nearby Chickamauga in September. However, renewed fighting in Chattanooga that November provided Union troops victory and control of the city.”

Caution

Use Caution When Hiking Bluff Trail on Lookout Mountain

Please exercise caution when hiking the section of Bluff Trail, between the Cravens House Trail and the base of the metal staircase below Point Park, as a territorial barred owl may be present. We appreciate your vigilance and your patience as we work on a solution.
