The South Chickamauga Creek Greenway is a compacted crushed limestone pathway system on the southeast side of Chattanooga. The greenway is open for walking, running and bike riding. The pathway system will eventually reach the Tennessee Riverwalk to create a 25-mile long horseshoe shape that will reach much of the city. Currently two sections are completed.

The 4.6-mile long northerly section intersects the Tennessee Riverwalk at a point adjacent to the Amnicola Highway and south of Lost Mound Road. From this point the trail heads to the east along Chicamauga Creek, crosses under Bonny Oaks Drive, then take a wide loop to come back to Faith Road off os Youngstown Road.

The southern section spans between the intersection of Shallowford Road and N. Moore Road and Camp Jordan Park. This 4-mile long section connects to the trails at Camp Jordan Park and then follows the greenspace along the creek that is adjacent to Chattanooga Airport. This section of the greenway goes past Brainerd High School and Brainerd Recreation Complex.
