POINT PARK, part of the Chickamauga - Chattanooga National Military Park system, just a few short blocks - about 1/4 mile from the Incline top station. Since this is a National Park Service-operated military park, there is an entrance fee.
On this date the cost was $3 each unless you have your annual National Parks Pass, which of course, the two RV Gypsies do have. Children 12 and under are free. (Prices may or may not change through the years - the two RV Gypsies have no control over prices anywhere).

Below: A View of Chattanooga plus Moccasin Bend and the Tennessee River from Point Park on top of Lookout Mountain. Moccasin Bend National Archeological District (MOBE), with its approximately 755 acres, is a valuable landmark and repository of over 12,000 years of American identity. Its stories include those of the native peoples who used the rich, natural resources of the region to feed, clothe, shelter, and protect themselves. The Bend also helps convey the disastrous consequences that befell Native Americans who came in contact with European explorers on their quests for the riches associated with the North American continent.
