We came for a church event, and the enclosed picnic/event buildings were very nice. Lots of trails, but don't be deceived by the map: Some trails are tough! (Or I may just be out of shape and not...young)

A great little park! A true hidden gem for a church or family activity, or just a fun afternoon outside.

Beautiful trail. We took the white trail. Was very beautiful. Our bunny loved it! So it’s bunny approved. lol. Wear hiking boots and watch the floor as walking since there’s lots of loose rocks and tree roots. Benches everywhere to rest, beautiful scenery of the river and we had a lovely experience. Wish I could’ve added some videos but app won’t let me.

1. Trails are NOT kid friendly. They can be young adult friendly, but are absolutely not in the condition for kids or older dogs. 2. The destroyed bridge connects the white trail with the orange trail. I read all about a destroyed bridge, but I didn't find which trail it was along. 3. We took the green trail up. The green tail is overgrown in places along the river, can feel almost vertical at times, and would be dangerous to descend from the opening furthest to the left. We took the white trail down. It winded so it wasn't too steep but it was still moderate difficulty due to erosion, loose slippery gravel, and large networks of roots. The view along the river was pretty and we enjoyed seeing the bat cave across the river. The party structure and the playground at the top was nice. It would make for a pretty event spot in the woods (bring mosquito spray). All in all, it's a decent place for a solid workout; it's just not as described by AI. I'm a hiker who enjoys ascension, but I'll have to leave hubby and the dogs if I return.

We absolutely love this trail. I take my 2 little girls to walk here 2 to 3 times per week. It’s so BEAUTIFUL, it’s awesome to get exercise and connect with nature at the same time. If you start at the beginning of the trail and walk all the way to the very end and back, it’s close to 2.5 miles given my quick calculations.

Really nice paved walking path that meanders alongside the creek and over a walking bridge. Some uphill grade,but not a lot. Dog friendly,but beware ,there isn't a bathroom .

Nice paved trail along the creek. I live the boardwalk the best. This trail is very dogfriendly and I am not sure how long the trail is, but we walked almost a mile before turning around and back tracked. There are signs warning of wildlife and reptiles. Fortunately, I didn't see any reptiles.

Love to walk this trail. Always peaceful and some pretty views and cool looking tree formation along the way. You can hear the interstate along the side but it’s not loud. The trail is paved the whole way and easy to push a stroller on! Which was nice for me.

This is a pleasant place for an easy walk. The path is wide, clear, and wheelchair accessible! It wasn't crowded. I recommend mosquito repellent with deet or you will spend the whole time slapping yourself like an idiot! There's a little color to look at. The water is shallow. Some people brave getting in. I don't trust the water treatment facility down the path. Don't miss the tree knot that looks like a starwars rancor!

This is one of the best places I've ever fished. If you like catching a variety of fish species but don't like moving your gear over and over again, come on down to the creek and find yourself a nice shade tree to sit under. Cast a line and the fish come to you.

Meh! It's a shallow creek. I saw a turtle and a lonely duck. Some people get in the water. I don't trust it. There's a water treatment facility about a mile down the path. The walking path is nice! Bring repellent with deet! You'll thank me.

The nature trail along the creek in Ringgold is wonderful. It's fully paved now, has two fenced-in dog play areas, offers kayak and tube rentals for enjoying the creek, provides benches, picnic tables, trash bins and doggy poo collection bags...in short, is a complete dream. Many new trees have been planted and the old ones have been labeled. Most of the walking trail is in the shade, which my dog and I both love, and I marvel during every visit at how clean and well-maintained the city has kept the entire premises. As a longtime resident of Ringgold, I am very proud of this nature trail and lovely creek.

The trees and bushes block the view of the creek on the trail. There are mini waterfalls. If you park at the nature trail area, there is where you can take your canoe, kayaking, etc into the water

Nice place to enjoy the afternoon. The church was closed but we were able to walk around it. Bring a picnic. There is a Pavillion, soda machine and bathroom at the playground next door. Walk up the hill to an old graveyard behind the church. Great place to walk the dog. Perfect place to take the kids.

It took me years to finally be at the right spot at the right time. During my tour of the Atlanta Campaign I finally was able to stop by and go in to see the inside of the Old Stone Church. I remember speaking to a lady who had volunteered there for a number of years. I enjoyed talking to her and learning a little about the local area and its history.

Nice little plac to see and read , but not much of a place to get out of traffic. The monument is right on the edge of the road . Good reading but have to do it in a hurry. See it before the woke forces tear it down.

Not much to see. Just a historical marker. This the place where the General ran out of fuel, ending the Great Locomotive Chase on April 12, 1862. Was worth the drive.

Great to see someplace that was part of our family history. Area needs some attention as the stone work and description boards need some restoration or replacement. But the area gives you a good idea about the Battle of Ringgold Gap. Decent parking on the side of the road right at the monument. Need some leaf removal and cleanup. Be careful on steps.

Very nice and well preserved portion of the Ringgold Gap Battlefield. Has some picnic tables and nice shade as well so it's a good place to have lunch. Very informative plaques and historical markers talking about the Battle itself and the beginning of the Atlanta Campaign. Highly recommend visiting if you are interested in our nation's history.
