Horseback Riding. A good way to experience the beauty in Chattanooga and the surrounding area is from the back of a horse. Tennessee ranks third in the nation in the number of horses owned with fifty percent of those horses used for recreational purposes.

Many of the areas that offer the beautiful scenery and quiet forests are accessible only by foot or by horse. Persons who have physical limitations and cannot hike are able to enjoy the outdoors by riding a horse.

Horseback Rentals are available throughout the Chattanooga/North Georgia area. Please see rental stables listed to the right under "Organizations" for availability and rates.

For Horse Owners/Horsepackers:
Prentice Cooper State Forest in Hamilton and Marion Counties offers 100 miles of multi-use trails and primitive camping. The Cherokee National Forest in Polk County covers thousands of acres that are laced with trails. You can experience a piece of history by riding the 12 miles of equestrian trails in Chickamauga Battlefield in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia. Take in the spectacular views from the mountain tops at Crockford-Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area in Lafayette, Georgia, where there are 100 miles of multi-use trails and a primitive camping area, and at the Cohutta Wilderness area, which is part of the Chattahoochee National Forest where there are established horse trails and primitive camping.
