Workers Started Walking Path that may Link Chickamauga to Cloudland Canyon State Park

Workers have started the first leg of a greenway that may one day link Chickamauga to Cloudland Canyon State Park on Lookout Mountain, an 18 mile walking path.

Walker County Road Department crews are preparing a 10-foot-wide paved corridor that will connect four city parks in Chickamauga in the first phase.

The route follows the old Durham Railroad that linked mountain-top coal mines at Durham to the beehive system preserved in Coke Oven Park.

The greenway will stretch from the 55-acre Crawfish Springs Wetland Park through Veterans Memorial Park, go under a railroad trestle, and continue on to Coke Oven Park.
