Chickamauga Connector Trail

Welcome to the Chickamauga Connector Trail, a historical park located in the heart of Chickamauga, Georgia.

In 1863, the Battle of Chickamauga marked a significant moment in American history as Union and Confederate forces clashed over the strategic city of Chattanooga, known as the "Gateway to the Deep South."

A Confederate soldier poignantly remarked, "This...is the death-knell of the Confederacy."
