Removed some trees and limbs, but still a bit over grown in some spots. This is a muddy trail and worth a hike. Now recently cut back back a beautiful trail to experience nature and admire the Tennessee River.
Decent short trail but has a good potential to be very muddy after rain. A couple decent views of the river and there are tons of birds.
Very muddy after it rains, but its a really good loop and you dont run into a ton of people. Plus in the late winter/early spring, the trees let off gases that turn the water to either a rainbow color or pink.
A pleasant 2 mile loop trail that passes through the woods, along swampy ponds, and the Tennessee River. The trail is mostly flat, with only about 25 to 30 feet in elevation. The trail has several areas that hold water or are muddy. As a result, you should avoid this trail for a couple of days following a ring. Do NOT leave anything valuable in plain sight in your vehicle, as this place has a history of car break-ins.
The Blue Blazes Hiking Trail is a beautiful yet easy trail in the Moccasin Bend area. It is close the the Northshore and minutes from downtown Chattanooga.
Nice diversity along an easy shaded trail that winds through swamps and a pine forest. The trail is flat and narrow, boardered by lots of poison ivy. feilds and Muddy after heavy rain, but still manuerverable in tennis shoes. A few areas with stairs, boards and tiny hills. Good trail for running as there aren't many roots across the path. Has several water features wines through the swamp. It was a quiet peaceful 40 minute walk, no one else was on the trail. Long pants, closed toe shoes and bug spray are recommended.
A lot of things to look at and pretty neat little walk in the woods. Very swampy conditions especially after the rain so bring your rain boots! Make sure to pack tick/bug spray and that you’re dogs have been treated before you go! Great loop (about a mile) that leads you back to parking.
Trail was very muddy and a under several feet of water towards the back, we had to turn around and back track. The swamp was covered in pinkish red algae or flowers of some type and was really pretty to look at.
