Washington is the closest Tennessee State Park to Chattanooga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker T. Washington has a few hiking trails to pick from. From what I&#8217;ve seen online, some of the longer ones are great for bicyclists. We picked the shorter Nature Trail, just over a mile long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/50026633416\/in\/album-72157714794721222\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50026633416_fbd9efd570_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Booker T.
