Point Park (Lookout Mountain Battlefield)
Point Park
A Civil War battlefield park at the north end of Lookout Mountain. From the cliff you can overlook the Tennessee River's Moccasin Bend and the whole downtown.
Part of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, this is where the 1863 'Battle Above the Clouds' took place. The park has the New York Peace Monument, artillery batteries and a visitor center. The cliff-edge viewpoint faces Moccasin Bend on the Tennessee River and offers Chattanooga's most classic panorama. Admission is about $10 (free for children under 16). From the top station of the Incline Railway, it is a five-minute walk. You can also walk down to Craven House and the Sunset Rock trail.
