Sometimes, it just feels good to get away from the noise of the city and relax in nature, which is why a lot of Chattanooga locals go to the Enterprise South Nature Park.

This 2,800-acre space used to be part of the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant property before it was turned into a beautiful park.

The park has miles and miles of paved biking, hiking, and walking trails. There are five picnic areas at the park, which are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You’ll find picnic areas 1, 2, and 3 at Still Hollow Loop, while picnic area 4 is at Bunker Hill Loop.

However, frequent park-goers love heading to picnic area 5 because it’s located at the Hidden Lake.

The Hidden Lake boasts stunning views of a water fixture. Amenities at the Hidden Lake include a pet waste dispenser, picnic tables, a restroom, swings, and trash cans.

There’s a wildlife viewing platform at Enterprise South Nature Park, too, where you can see whitetail deers, raccoons, turkeys, hawks, butterflies, bees, and several species of birds.
