Greenway Farms Dog Park

This was a great little park. Clean, maintained and there were bathrooms. The dogs met all kinds of new friends. The people and other animals there were all very pleasant.

I don’t own a dog. I came anyway. Observation is still a valid form of participation. The dogs were free. Their owners pretended they were in control. Both parties seemed satisfied with the lie. The trails surrounding the park offer a quiet reminder: civilization is a thin fence, and someone always leaves the gate open. Five stars. Clean enough. Lawless enough. A well-maintained zone of sanctioned chaos where everyone understands the rules, even though none of them are written down.

Great hiking spot, there's a trail just past the cemetery that is a 1 mile loop, and another trail past the outdoor Chattanooga building that is around 3 miles down and back. Trails are well maintained, no litter or fallen trees. The path near the river does flood sometimes, if there has been a lot of rain it's best to avoid it. Kayak rental is available from the outdoor Chattanooga building. I haven't rented from there myself so not sure about the pricing. It's great that it's available though. The dog park is usually pretty busy, and is well maintained. Could be a little larger with all the space they had available. Overall a great park.

I brought two dogs that I unleashed on the large dog side of the dog park. The park is fenced and has water for pets. At best the park is basic or rudimentary. Grass covers 2/3 of the park but the part with water access is on the “grass is long gone area.” I don’t recommend this area for rainy days.

It's a beautiful paved pathway through the woods. There's a bathroom at one parking lot, so no need to go on trail. Great sunset view part way into the trail just past the incline!
