Secret little nature area we never knew about! Nice little network of trails, some that go right next to the Chickamauga Creek. Some area were a little grown over so we had to carry our little kids through the brush. The parking area is very big. There’s a small (brand new??) playground with swings, picnic benches, and bathrooms with actual soap and running water. Can’t wait to come back for another hike and picnic lunch.

We were so surprised to find such a beautiful park by accident. Had a beautiful 2+ mile walk with lots of birds and wildflowers. The beginning and end of the main trail are a little steep and are rocky, so a good pair of shoes are important. But it is well worth it for the exercise and the beauty. The river was also beautiful.

This is a beautiful, quiet little nature park surrounded by bordering neighborhoods. The terrain isn’t too rough, but there are some hills and change in elevation. The trails lead down to the steadily-flowing, calm South Chickamauga Creek. You could probably swim in the water, and I don’t believe there is anything that speaks against that. It’s ultimately your choice! This is definitely a cool little place to check out!

Not a bad local place to hike. It'll take about 1-1.5 hours to go fully around the white trail. There are some overgrown areas tho. They have a pavilion you can rent for $50. They just added swings and they have good tables. There's also benches along the trail which is nice.

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!

Super convenient and well maintained. Right beside South Chickamauga Creek, so you get the soothing water sounds for added peace! I wish people were more courteous and picked up after their dogs. I mean right beside the trail as well! The littering folks need to wake up ! Fishing line is also litter!

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.

The restrooms are the most dated I've ever been to. They're single stall with very little ventilation. Good thing was one young man who was a staffer worked really hard to keep the soap, tissue and stuff up and going. The fields were fine, concessions didn't accept digital payment, but the food trucks on-site did.

Disguised as a ball field, this place is actually a 1.2 mile walking track with a Disc Golf course hidden within. I enjoy walking here and do so often. Don't forget your MapMyWalk app!

I go here for the disc golf, and I have absolutely no complaints about the course or the area. It's well maintained, and I'd recommend this place to anyone who plays disc golf, hikes, or plays baseball. They have a play area for younger kids and plenty of parking.

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.

Very nice 9 holes disc golf course for beginners. The pads have the hole number on them but more then often its been washed away so having an app with the holes is convenient. Its not that hard to figure out beside 2 or 3 holes. It is mostly in the very open field so just a few holes with a few trees but nothing major. The park is very clean and the parking lot is a very decent size. Dogs are allowed

One of my favorite local recreation areas. Jack Mattox is conveniently located, and for a small park it offers a lot to do. It's my preferred disc golf course, but my wife and I also go there just to stroll the paved trails, which are always clean. Its location is such that it feels somewhat secluded without really being so.

It took a few people a long time and a lot of work to get this statue made and finally on display. Not a whole lot of folks know who General Patrick Cleburne was, but more should learn. He was a leader who fit the hero mold, yet broke with conventions of the time. He deserves more notice. This is a nice, tiny park on the side of US 41. Not a bad place to stop for a few minutes.

Just recently stopped here. I've passed by it countless times without really ever taking notice. As a history nerd, my curiosity got the best of me. The signs tell of the significance and importance the area had in protecting the South's withdrawal and Sherman's advance to Atlanta. Just wished there were more pictures/maps on display.

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.
