Point Park and Sunset Rock, both on Lookout Mountain, are the two most popular viewpoints in Chattanooga, and for good reason.
The Rock City attraction, in Georgia at the highest point of Lookout Mountain, claims that on a very clear day, with the right equipment, you can see seven states: Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and at a whooping 120 miles away, Kentucky and Virginia.
For an iconic view of the Tennessee River away from the city, take the 40-minute drive out to Snooper’s Rock in Prentice Cooper State Forest.
For a three-mile hike (six-mile round trip) to Snooper’s Rock, park at the Cumberland Trail parking lot.
