Booker T. Washington State Park

This morning we explored Booker T. Washington State Park, located on Chickamauga Lake. Booker T. Washington is the closest Tennessee State Park to Chattanooga.

Booker T. Washington has a few hiking trails to pick from. From what I’ve seen online, some of the longer ones are great for bicyclists. We picked the shorter Nature Trail, just over a mile long.

This was a nice trail. It is entirely wooded, and at times it runs along side the lake for a great view. The trail is a little rocky and covered with tree roots, so be careful and make sure you watch where you step!

The start of the trail is near the recreation area, where we hung out for a bit, enjoying the scenery. I am jealous of anyone who owns a boat or a kayak! We even saw a seaplane! It was a perfect morning for being out on the water.
