After reading so many great reviews, I was seriously underwhelmed by the Chattanooga river walk. It’s trumped up to be far more than it is. Past the statues, some of the river was “curtained off” so I couldn’t see it at all. Other river walks in other towns are far more impressive

What a lovely city Chattanooga is! Stayed at spring hill suites right on waterfront path. You can ride right out the door on a smooth , mostly shady path. Easy to navigate . Walk, run or bike ride but experience this while in this cool city .

Tripadvisor agents helped us to book the tour by phone, assured us it was still operating, then the day of the event there was no boat or captain to be found. Also, no one answered at the business number. I'm not sure how this listing got here. If someone is trying to spoof the old Chattanooga Cycleboats biz that closed, perhaps that is what is happening.

A major portion of the park east of downtown has been closed indefinitely due to the vaccination effort. Surely, with some forethought, ways to accommodate both recreational use (so vital during this pandemic) and vaccinations can be found. At a minimum, the website should expand the current minimal closure notice to explain why the extensive closure is needed.

Our family had a family gathering and lunch together here. The park is clean and beautifully maintained. Everything that we were promised was as promised. If the opportunity arises for its use again, you will certainly find us here.

This 10 mile long park is mostly by the river, but there are areas where it curves into some industrial locations. Basically it's a nice wide paved path set up for people to walk or bike. Along the way, there are several playgrounds, various types of "parks", and sculptures sprinkled along the sides.
The playgrounds had themes (bees for example), and all seemed to have some sort of educational component. There are many covered picnic areas that can be reserved . I even noticed one with a fireplace! There are a few "parks", a fishing park with some docks, a marsh, an area set aside to discuss Chattanooga during the Civil War.
There are several free parking areas at different parts of the park. Restrooms and benches are located at intervals. We even noticed a bicycle repair station.

For our spring break. I really wanted to see that water on the stairs, but it was off and it looked like there was renovation going on in this area. The river was higher then what I seen in pictures and there was any railing on the walkways. We made the best of it. Because it had rained earlier and I had already had rainbows for my clan, we where able to slash around and have fun. I would really love to come back when it is warmer.

If you enjoy road running, this is a must for you. Great 8 mile run from the Chickamauga Dam to the Riverpark. Well maintained, mostly flat, and paved. Start early because it gets crowded quickly. We will return for another run in the Fall.

Do we have to rent bikes in advance for September for the Tennessee Riverwalk

So you have to reserve the pavilions on the river walk?
Written June 10, 2020
Sure! There is plenty of room so folks that don't like dogs don't feel crowded. There is plenty of green space so your dog can do his business as well - don't forget to clean up! I recall several pet stations with bags and a disposal can as well.

Where can you park for the Riverwalk besides at Walnut St Bridge and at the entrance near Chickamauga Dam?
Written June 26, 2017
On one of our last walks along the river, my wife and I stopped in the Chattanooga Riverboat to have a drink in their lounge and explore. It has a good size parking area and is located at 201 Riverfront Parkway.
Written June 28, 2017
I ran at dawn, starting at the dam. I can't really say they have hours, although they may not let you stay overnight in a parking area. I'm not a resident.

The signs say "No Dogs Allowed". Hopefully they will change this sometime in the future.

Yes. There are multiple bike rental locations close to the riverwalk.
