National Parks
Pay respects at the first national military park—Chickamauga and Chattanooga Military Park--which honors Civil War soldiers that fought in the Battle of Chickamauga and the Chattanooga Campaign. Remember the struggle and survival of the Cherokee people in a journey to the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.
Visit some of the world’s most stunning forests; step back in time to appreciate churches, cabins, farmhouses and barns of the Southern Appalachian people who settled the region in the late 1700s; choose a hike from 800 miles of trails; and spend a spell with some of the oldest mountains on earth in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Chase forty-five miles of free-flowing streams, around the Obed Wild & Scenic River, some of the most rugged scenery in the region.
