Chattanooga Destination Overview
|
Chattanooga, the 4th largest city in the state, is located in Southeast
Tennessee near the border of Georgia at the junction of four interstate
highways. The city has received national recognition for the renaissance of its
beautiful downtown and redevelopment of its riverfront. Chattanooga was one of
the first US cities to effectively use a citizen visioning process to set
specific long-range goals to enrich the lives of residents and visitors. In
Chattanooga, citizens like to get involved, and they like to show off their
accomplishments. The Chattanooga Convention and Trade Center is a state-of-the-art facility that
has recently been expanded.
Public entities and private citizens worked together
in recent years to build the 20,000 seat Max Finley Stadium. In keeping with the
beauty of the area, the city has developed an extensive greenway system which
includes 5 miles of constructed river walk beginning downtown and meandering
through the historic art district and several parks. What better way to
experience the feel of the city than to take time to enjoy the downtown sights,
shops and restaurants: all of them within walking distance. The city supports a
downtown shuttle fleet of zero-emission electric buses - manufactured in
Chattanooga - for visitors wishing to park-and-ride. In this city, you don’t
have to drive your car unless you want.
There are many attractions to experience in this traditional southern town. The
best known are probably the Tennessee Aquarium, Lookout Mountain, the African
American Museum, and the Appalachian Trail, but Chattanooga is also the site of
many Civil War battlefields that are historically significant. The Creative
Discovery Museum for children is outstanding and will entertain every member of
the family. Among annual events of interest are the Riverbend Festival, the
Bessie Smith Strut, the Fall Color Cruise, and the Southern Writers Conference. Chattanooga is the home of NCAA Division I-AA national football championships
and hosts the national softball championships every year as well.
The climate is moderate, so the outdoors can be experienced year round. Whether
your interest is hiking, biking, walking, sky diving, rafting, or just strolling
through a local park, Chattanooga serves well either as a destination in itself
or as a base for unique adventures throughout the region. Some of these are
hang-gliding, bass fishing, mountain climbing and caving expeditions. A little
known fact about Chattanooga is that the Smoky Mountains and Tennessee River
valley are known to support the greatest variety of flora of any area in the
United States. With its scenic beauty,
moderate climate, proximity to a host of attractions and sites, and proximity to
major Interstate highways, Chattanooga is a city that should be on every
traveler’s itinerary.
