Confirmed from Riverpoint's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean waterfront trail popular for jogs, bike rides and picnics.
What runners say about Riverpoint
“5 miles one way of extra sidewalk that is along the S Chickamauga Creek and which presents beautiful scenery and is still a well kept secret, as there are hardly any people on it.”
“Beautiful native flowers in full bloom, pollinators food bank, all that on the way to the dam.”
“In my opinion, the brisk, quiet hours in the morning and evening are the most enjoyable and refreshing.”
Great paved trail with views of the Tennessee River. Easy to bike or walk. Lots of parking and restrooms.
Ran here the day after Christmas, 8 miles out and back. 18 degrees cold! Great place to park and free too. Lot was pretty empty at 8 am. Plenty of shelters and bathrooms on the way. Nice views of the river, but also lots of manufacturing plants and the water company. Plenty of signs.
Beautiful! This is right off of mile two of the Riverwalk. It's called the S Chickamauga Creek Greenway. I didn't know it existed until a month ago. 5 miles one way of extra sidewalk that is along the S Chickamauga Creek and which presents beautiful scenery and is still a well kept secret, as there are hardly any…
River point is a place that I find peace and love to go there and meditate. I walk and also ride my bike and the trail is rewarding as the Tennessee experience. If your looking for one of the greatest scenic tours and tranquility. You have to experience River Park. This is my praying well.
