Greenway Farms

Tuesday, February 18 — Greenway Farms in Hixson, 4.7 miles, easy. We will combine the paved and graveled main path with the meadow trail that borders North Chickamauga Creek. From there, we will see the section of the creek that General Sherman used to sneak thousands of Union troops behind Rebel lines to join with Grant in the final battle to take Chattanooga before his march to Atlanta. After our stroll, some may be ready for lunch at nearby eateries on Hixson Pike.

Check the weather forecast within a day of the hike, as earlier forecasts can change dramatically. Choose appropriate layers; wear hiking shoes or boots; bring snacks and/or lunch along with more water than you think you need; use insect repellent, hiking poles, sunscreen, and rain jacket as needed.
