The Lookout Mountain Parkway spans three states as it stretches across Lookout Mountain from Gadsden, Alabama to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Within its 93-miles, one will find waterfalls, canyons, scenic brow vistas, unique towns and villages, state and national parks and preserves, and many more natural wonders.

The Lookout Mountain Parkway which runs from Gadsden, AL to Chattanooga, TN atop the crest of Lookout Mountain is one of the most underrated, underappreciated, and unknown roads in the South. If you ride a motorcycle, do not pass up the opportunity to ride it if you are in the area. Along the route it's easy to visit Cloudland Canyon State Park in GA and DeSoto State Park in AL. Each park has adequate camping and cabin accommodations you'll find affordable.
