Waterfall Hikes Near Chattanooga, TN
within 50 miles
Chattanooga sits where the Tennessee River cuts a deep gorge through the southern Appalachian foothills, with steep ridgelines, sandstone bluff faces, and mixed hardwood slopes around Lookout Mountain and the Cumberland Plateau. The area's waterfall hikes are dominated by moderate forested routes and rocky canyon scrambles, supplemented by several short roadside cascades and one drive-up access; dramatic river- and bluff-side overlooks and rich temperate forests make nearby cascades varied and scenic.
