Enterprise South Nature Center

Enterprise South Nature Park sits off Still Hollow Loop in northeast Chattanooga, where nine hiking trails, five mountain biking trails of varying difficulty, a horse trail, and four routes for wildlife viewing by vehicle wind through the woods around Hidden Lake and Poe Run. Construction on the park began in 2006, and it opened to the public in December 2010; a preserved historic bunker on the grounds is one of several reminders of the site's past. Visitors regularly spot deer and beaver along the trails, and the "Barks and Tails" area gives leashed dogs their own place to roam. For gatherings, the park's Visitor Center houses the ESNP Meeting Room, an indoor space that seats up to 40 with an attached kitchen and a built-in projector and drop-down screen, suited to meetings, trainings, and small private events. Rangers on-site support visitor services and occasional interpretive programming, and the park also offers single- and multi-day equipment rentals alongside its four picnic areas for casual outdoor gatherings.
