Plenty of hiking trail options with lots of wildlife all sound. We even saw a pair of red tail hawks.

Audubon Acres is at the end of the road passing through a quiet neighborhood on the Trail of Tears. A repository of Native American history with many walking trails all marked and mapped lead you back in time. The staff is very helpful and willing to share their extensive knowledge of the location's history.

The grounds are just beautiful, and we loved the walking trails and the suspension bridge. There are little exhibits to see as well. The day we went there was an American Indian event going on. I highly recommend Audubon Acres if you love nature and walking trails. Very tranquil and peaceful.

Audubon Acres is Chattanooga’s Oldest Wildlife Sanctuary. Spring Frog Cabin thought to have been constructed in the mid 1700’s and is a registered site on the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. This place is peaceful and tranquil until the train comes barreling through. Watching a train up close is always fun! Walking trails are lovely including the swinging bridge!

Im pretty positive they'd allow it. Stay leashed, and clean up. Nice hike back in there, you and your pup will enjoy it. The folks there are great.

Are the trails easy for newbie hikers? I have gone on two hikes recently but they have been with guides so no chance of getting lost. I want to visit your sanctuary and hike but I will be doing it alone so I hope they are easy to get around.

The trails are easy and you won't get lost. There are markes around and you have a map as well to guide you. Do the hike you'll enjoy the beautiful scenery and peacefulness.

Can anyone fish?

Sorry, Wade. As a wildlife sanctuary, we do not allow fishing on site. Check out the Tennessee Riverwalk or the mill at Graysville.
