Riverwalk
Besides being great for walking and biking, the Riverwalk is a great place for birding and bird photography. The varied habitat of marshes, wetlands, ponds, open fields, heavy brush, and large trees attracts a variety of birds and animals. Birds along the walkway become somewhat accustomed to people and become easier to approach for photography.
The Greenway and Greenway Farm areas are also excellent for walking and birding. In addition to the paved and gravel trails, there are wooded trails, including several along the mountain ridge south of the Greenway and Greenway Farm. Within the Greenway is the old limestone quarry where limestone was obtained for the concrete used to build Chickamauga Dam.
