Chattanooga's Audubon Society operates these two facilities to provide a haven for wildlife and lovers of the great outdoors. Audubon Acres features over 10 miles of hiking trails on 140 acres in the wooded hills of East Tennessee. Numerous exhibits showcase the types of wildlife including endangered species, which are indigenous to this area. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children. Maclellan Island is a 20-acre strip of land in the middle of the Tennessee River that can only be reached by boat or canoe. Regular excursions to the island can be arranged through the Audubon Society. The island is extremely biodiverse with plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.

Tired of the same old bus tours? Take a ride on the most unique tour in town.

The tour lasts about an hour and costs only $15 for adults, $8 for children. This unforgettable tour is a great outing for kids of all ages who enjoy something out of the ordinary.

Harrison Bay State Park


PGA-style golf course and more
8411 Harrison Bay Road
Chattanooga, TN 37341
United States
+1 423 344 6214

Part of Chattanooga's charm is its scenic beauty. Mountains surround the valley where the city rests. The Tennessee River flows through the city and an elaborate system of dams creates a number of lakes and bays for recreation. It's along the shore of one such bay that this State Park resides. There is plenty of room for camping, picnics and play. Access to the lake for your boat or personal watercraft is easy and well maintained. Two restaurants on site provide a cure for your hunger. The Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, Bear Trace, has brought another dimension to the park. The PGA style course offers a challenge to golfers of all skill levels at public course fees. Call or visit web site for rates and fees.

Raccoon Mountain


Mountain-sized fun
319 West Hills Drive
Chattanooga, TN 37419
United States
+1 423 821 9403
http://www.raccoonmountain.com/
Just west of Chattanooga is a high ridge known as Raccoon Mountain. Outdoor types love this area for camping, but there is a lot more to do than simply pitch a tent. Drive like the Andrettis on the Grand Prix Go-Cart course or swing like Babe Ruth in the Batting Cages. Caving series of caves in and around the mountain and hang-gliding lessons are also popular. Feel lucky? You can pan for gold and gemstones in the creeks that run along the base of the mountains.
