Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center

This was a very nice and easy walk hidden away from the tourist type things nearby downtown Chattanooga. We saw horses, old cabins, and lots of different flowers. The trails were well marked. I would recommend coming here and don’t forget to leave a donation!

We attended the native animal encounter because my child was specifically interested in red wolves. Danielle was extremely informative and engaging. We enjoyed seeing the red wolves and all of the other native animals. While there we also walked to the treehouse and a very short portion of another trail. The preserve is quite extensive and I would definitely love to return at a future date to explore more. The staff we encountered was very friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem for nature lovers.

A nice place to visit, easy to access, amd plenty parking. I didn't stay long, just parked and did a quick walk to the tree house. From other posted photos on the reviews, it looks like it would also be good to visit in Spring or beginning of Fall. I'll certainly come back

My husband and I and some friends were in Chattanooga for 2 days. Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center was the highlight of our trip. We'd never been there before and we enjoyed a lovely walk through well groomed trails on Tuesday afternoon and returned to do it again Wednesday before heading home! What a gem of a place to reflect, walk and enjoy nature. Chattanooga is blessed to have this.

The cost of membership to reflection riding is well worth the price for canoeing alone, but there are so many other things available including hiking, classes, summer camps, The Wildflower Gardens and greenhouses where you can buy native wildflower plants not to mention the wildlife sanctuary where they have several injured animals that they keep to teach and inform people. Memberships are how this place stays operational and apparently they have been in business since the seventies helping to teach conservation and such. The staff are also wonderful. Shout out to Will at the front desk. Brianna who gave us the tour in the wildlife sanctuary. And Paige who runs the Wildflower Gardens.
