Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will waive entrance fees to Point Park, atop Lookout Mountain, on National Public Lands Day, Saturday, Sept. 24. In addition, the park will celebrate the opening of a new trail to Sherman Reservation on Missionary Ridge from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. as part the park’s final centennial program of the year - “Creating a Neighborhood Link: Glass Street to Sherman Reservation.”
National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy; more than 400 national parks will offer free entrance on Sept. 24. More than 185,000 volunteers are expected to help restore lands at approximately 2,200 sites used for recreation, education, exercise, and connecting with nature.
