Rainbow Lake Wilderness Park

"Such a great place to hike but there are some really steep trails!! I went all the way to the lake and it was a pretty decent hike. There are many trails and some go out of the way but you get some awesome views"

"Wish the sign to the actual falls was marked on the trail. Other than that. It's amazing. Pass the suspension bridge, don't cross it. Take the cumberland trail until you pass another bridge then there will be a dirt circle in the trail, you'll know when you see it, trail to falls base is on right there. It's like skiing but there are ropes to guide you if needed. Worth the effort for us!"

"Fantastic day hiking area full of natural beauty. Waterfalls and trails. It's a short hike from here to Edwards Point, one of the best views overlooking Chattanooga. Arrive early for parking, though. Drive courteously--trailhead is in a residential neighborhood."

"It can be a little challenging to actually find the trail, but overall a really amazing hike. Just be careful because we ran into a copper head snake. The snake blended in really well with the ground, so definitely be aware of your surroundings. I loved how many flowers were around this spot. We mainly did the smaller mileage route for this one, but I'll be going back to try hiking the longer distance one."
