The ChickChatt Greenway

A place to walk with friends. Ride with your children. Explore a neighboring town. Stop for a meal, enjoy the scenery and discover the history along the way.

The ChickChatt Greenway is a proposed multi-use trail loop that would connect the residents of Northwest Georgia and the Tennessee Valley to natural areas, historic sites, and to each other.

Imagine a car-free path connecting Chattanooga and the scenic landscapes of North Georgia

The ChickChatt would connect 30+ miles of existing multi-use trails, such as Chattanooga's Tennessee Riverwalk and Chickamauga's Battlefield Park, with 20+ miles of additional trails to create a connected 50+ mile loop.

Old Railways. New Connections.

Rail trails transform former railroad corridors into welcoming paths with gentle grades, broad curves and room to enjoy the outdoors away from traffic. They connect communities to nature and bring visitors to local businesses.

That’s the opportunity behind the ChickChatt Greenway. Beginning with the proposed TAG Line Rail Trail from St. Elmo through Flintstone to Chickamauga, we want to connect existing trails and parks to create a continuous 55-mile loop of urban greenways, back country paths, and rail trails. The ChickChatt would link ten municipalities only accessible today by road.

For residents: everyday recreation. For businesses: new customers.

For our region: a remarkable new way to connect.
