NPS historical adventure by bike: Lookout Mtn Battlefield

October 21, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm EDT

Saturday, October 21, at 9:30 am
 Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, in partnership with Outdoor Chattanooga, will conduct 1.66-mile historical bicycle tour on Lookout Mountain.

On this tour, participants will bike from Cravens House to the intersection of
the Rifle Pits and Guild Trails. From this intersection, they will take a short out and back hike to the
Confederate rifle pits, then they will bike back to Cravens House, following the US assault on
Lookout Mountain, 160 years ago.

The rides are appropriate for adults and children ages 8 years and older, when accompanied by an
adult. Children must be able to ride confidently, without training wheels. All participants are required
to wear helmets.  Personal bikes must be in proper working order to accompany the ride.  Loaner bikes are available with pre-registration for adults 5’5″ or taller with OC.

The public is invited to bring their bicycles and join in this historical trail ride, which takes
approximately 2.5 hours. NPS rangers will talk about the history, while Outdoor Chattanooga staff
and volunteers provide ride leadership and support.

Loaner bicycles will be available for riders 5 feet tall and over at no charge, thanks to sponsorship
from the National Park Partners and Outdoor Chattanooga.

 The number of loaner bicycles
are limited and reservations for them are required by visiting http://bit.ly/outdoorchatt or by calling
423-643-6888. If you bring your own equipment in proper working order, no reservation is necessary.
