Expanding the Bounds…
Moccasin Bend National Archeological District is a critical piece of American History.

Park staff members will continue offering “Biking the Bend” bike rides in 2012. Visitors are encouraged to attend the rides in order to learn more about the future goals of the National Park Service on the Bend.

This year the Park is expanding its programming with Outdoor Chattanooga. In order to offer new and innovative ways to learn about American Indian and Civil War history associated with Moccasin Bend, Park Rangers will lead canoe tours on South Chickamauga Creek and hikes along the river at Ross’ Landing, Stringers Ridge, and Downtown Chattanooga.
