Chief Richard Taylor Nature Trail

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.

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!

Love to walk this trail. Always peaceful and some pretty views and cool looking tree formation along the way. You can hear the interstate along the side but it’s not loud. The trail is paved the whole way and easy to push a stroller on! Which was nice for me.

Beautiful nature trail along shore of South Chickamauga Creek past soccer fields ending just after water treatment plant. The long elevated wooden bridges are a bit narrow when trying to accommodate both pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

We love this trail because it feels like you are out in nature even though you are in town. This is a mixed trail of pavement and gravel following a creek. There is wildlife to see. There is also a kayak / canoe launch available.

Nice paved walkway. Scenic views. Kids were swimming in the creek. People were also fishing. Dog friendly.

If you want a nice easy walk along a creek, this is it!

Beautiful park. Awesome place to walk along the water . Perfect for walking with your dogs.

Wonderful easy walk. Meander through the trees next to the creek. Great place for family, pets, fishing, exercise or a nice lunch break.

One of my favorite nature trails around. Tons of areas to take a break if you’re taking the family.

We love all the local trails. This one is especially nice because we bring our handicapped daughter who can't navigate a rough trail. Beautiful creek trail that's been visited by the locals for decades and newly renovated for everyone. It was flooded due to heavy rain, but we still enjoyed it!

Practically right off the Ringgold exit and located near the historic downtown and antique shops. This place is not an exceptionally long trail, but you can still have a nice walk or jog here. There are signs that give you a bit of local history and points that would make for a nice pic or two.

I had a great day walking the trail with myhusband. It was a nice break having lunch and walking the trail to find peace from the pandemic. it wasn't very busy, we only saw a handful of people while we were there, given us the privacy to enjoy ourselves waiting in the water and checking out the various flowers.

Such a beautiful trail- the perfect walk!

Nice trail, not far out of civilization. There is a small parking lot at the entrance and even more parking to the left at the ball fields!

A creek runs along the backside. We went by a few runners— you could also ride your bike through. Our original reason for going was to find a geo cache though we never could locate it!

Everything is free, great walking trials. We walk 3 to 4 times a week. Great for handicap the trail is concrete.

I enjoy running here. There are walkers and dog walkers too. Mostly clean area with easy access points.

The trail is a great place to see a variety of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, turtles, and birds. There are also a number of educational signs along the trail that provide information about the local plants and animals. The trail is a great place to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors.

Here are some pros and cons of the Chief Richard Taylor Nature Trail:

Pros:

Easy to walk
Well-maintained
Plenty of wildlife
Great for a bike ride with kids.

Cons:
Not all of the trail is paved, not really an issue for me but may be for others.

A hidden treasure. Excellent running path. Wide lanes, accessible for all people. Best part is you can dive into the creek after a good run. Cool, fresh, and fast moving water!

It's so serene and beautiful. I can be next to the interstate and they cant really see me. I love walking here!
