Five-Star Trails: Chattanooga

Discover the Best Hikes in Chattanooga, Tennessee

So it is within easy reach of an incredible array of hiking destinations. Explore 40 of Chattanooga’s best, five-star trails, divided into six distinct areas in and around the city.



With the expert guidance of Tennessee author Johnny Molloy, you’ll take a ramble through the backcountry of the Cohutta Wilderness, a trek to a natural bridge on the Cumberland Plateau, a history-rich stroll along a Civil War battlefield, or a quick escape on a greenway near your home.
