| Hike Summary: | This trail is a part of the North Chickamauga Pocket Wilderness owned and maintained by Bowater Corporation. It is known as the Stevenson Trail and is an extremely interesting and senic trail with many fine views and points of interest including abandoned coal mines. Like any area where there are cliffs and abandoned mines a certain amount of caution is necessary. North Chickamauga Creek flows through the Gorge and is very beautiful with a number of interesting waterfalls and cascades. The name "Chickamauga" means "dwelling Place of the Chief" in the Creek Indian language. This is an easy to moderate hike for a total of 8 miles. There are also opportunities for camping here. The parking area for the North Chickamauga Pocket Wilderness is off Montlake Road in Soddy Daisy. |
