Just 13 miles east of downtown Chattanooga and 10 miles southwest of Legends at White Oak, Enterprise South Nature Park near Ooltewah, Tennessee, offers 2,800 acres of wilderness, complete with 9 miles of trails through its lush, wooded setting. Don’t miss these three highly rated hikes less than 10 minutes from home.

Atlas Loop Trail

This 5.4-mile lightly trafficked trail is well-marked and pet-friendly – just be sure to keep your furry friend on a leash. Rated moderate, make your way through the tall trees on a rocky path that gains less than 500 vertical feet from start to finish.

Poe Run to Deer Hollow to Hawk's Ridge Loop

Expert navigators (and AllTrails users alike) will have no trouble extending their stroll through the park on this 6.4-mile moderately trafficked loop. Gain 646 vertical feet as you explore your surroundings, hopping over a few creeks while traversing this lollipop-shaped trail. Per AllTrails: “This route is intersected by literally dozens of similar appearing trails, so keep your app or downloaded map handy to stay on track.”

Boulder Point Trail Loop

Drop your car in parking lot 3, then take Poe Run Path north to Hidden Lake Trail to access Boulder Point Trail. Rated intermediate, the counterclockwise loop to Boulder Point is a little over 1.5 miles, free from mountain bikers, and tracks the scenic Hidden Lake before returning to the start.
