Location
The Tennessee Riverwalk, also known as the Tennessee Riverpark, is a paved urban scenic pathway that runs for approximately 16 miles along the southern bank of the Tennessee River. It serves as a vital connection for pedestrians, runners, and cyclists, linking downtown Chattanooga and its riverfront attractions (like Ross's Landing, Coolidge Park, and the Tennessee Aquarium) to the Chickamauga Dam to the northeast and the historic St. Elmo neighborhood to the south. The path is a mix of paved sections, boardwalks, and bridges, offering continuous waterfront views and access to various parks and cultural landmarks.
