North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Park
The first week of September has brought a much anticipated announcement from the State of Tennessee regarding the formation of its 59th State Park. The 6,000 acre tract has been set aside for its recreational beauty, great hiking trails, and fantastic swimming holes, top notched kayaking (when weather permits), bouldering and rock climbing in the North Chickamauga Creek Gorge. In time, there will be an asphalted parking lot, bathrooms and park ranger presence. A visitor is encouraged to visit either in the morning or on the weekdays, when, they hope, it will not be as crowded as they think it will be on the weekends.
