We drove it today with Spring in the air...such a gorgeous drive with amazing views! We turned around and drove over it again! Makes you feel like you’re really experiencing the beautiful views in this area.

Named in honor of a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, this seven-acre park features a restored hand-carved carousel, pavilion and interactive play fountain.

Coolidge Park is a must for us every time we visit Chattanooga. Our 3 small dogs pout if they don't have a walk here. Despite a sign at the entrance (which we didn't notice at first), it is actually dog-friendly. We have often seen other people with their dogs. It's a beautiful park, has restrooms, splash pad (during hot weather), plenty of doggy-bags for cleaning up, and the park is immaculate. We always meet such nice people when we visit. And the view of the river is awesome. If you have children, they have an enclosed carousel, which is vintage and beautiful. Highly recommend it!

One of the finest examples of the Phoenix wrought-iron truss bridges that were build between 1884 and 1923.

Walking across the Walnut Street Bridge is a must-do if you’re in Chattanooga! (Or bike ride across). The scenery is beautiful day or night. Plenty of room to bring kids, dogs, strollers, your own chair/there are benches to sit already. Great place for photos. Great place to watch the various activities of Chattanooga such as fireworks, arrival of Santa the day after Thanksgiving, pops in the park music. We always feel safe. And no matter which side you start from, you are rewarded with something exciting on the other side! ...downtown Chattanooga, the Riverwalk, the Hunter museum and Art Distric or the North Shore with Coolidge Park, the various quirky shops and restaurants. I love that bridge and you will too...many fun memories to be made there!

What a treat to find this place. I came across this on Google and made a point to stop on our way into town for a vacation and so happy we did. It's beautiful. You don't find many covered bridges nowadays and this made for some beautiful photos.

The covered bridge and the area around it are well maintained. There are also picnic tables nearby if you wanted to picnic here. Would recommend it to those who like covered bridges.

The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, previously known as the Sparkman Street Bridge, the Shelby Street Bridge and the Shelby Avenue Bridge, is a truss bridge that is located one block south of Broadway and spans the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. Opened in 1909, it is 3,150 feet long and is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world. The first bridge in North America to have concrete arched trusses with superstructures made of steel that were painted black, the bridge connects the East Nashville neighborhood with downtown Nashville. In 2014, the bridge was renamed the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in honor of the nationally known journalist and civil rights advocate who reported for the Nashville newspaper The Tennessean in the 1950s. In 1998, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It includes an elevator, ramps and stairways for access, a 15-foot-wide center lane to accommodate bicycles, 10-foot-wide elevated boardwalk-style sidewalks on each side of the bicycle lane and four scenic pedestrian overlooks. The bridge is a popular destination for locals and visitors to take photographs of Nashville's skyline and the Cumberland River.

Opened October 22, 2016, Big River Crossing is the longest public pedestrian/bike bridge across the Mississippi River, providing dramatic views of its ever-changing landscape. By connecting Main Streets in Memphis and West Memphis, the BRX ties together urban, rural, and natural areas and gives users recreation options unique to each setting.

Big River Crossing is the best free experience in Memphis. It is a simple walk (run or bike ride) across the Mississippi River from Memphis, TN to West Memphis, AR. At just about a mile one way, it is not to long for most people, yet long enough for a fun experience. There are usually others enjoying the bridge, so it's a friendly and safe walk. There are often boats and barges traveling under the bridge, and sometimes trains crossing the river right next to the pedestrian walkway. When we have guests from out of the area, Big River Crossing is one of the sites we show them. When we don't have the guest excuse, it also makes a cheap date for my wife and me.
