Canoe Lookout Creek
Embark on a new adventure! Take a two hour self-guided canoe tour down Lookout Creek where you could catch a fawn taking a drink, turtles sunbathing, or a Great Blue Heron soaring just feet above your head! Canoe Orientations are offered at the following times: Saturday 10:00 am Orientations available on weekdays, by appointment only. During your canoe orientation, you and your family will watch a 15 minute film about the procedures for renting equipment, fitting yourself for PFDs and paddles, and learn basic paddling techniques. You will also fill out canoe waivers and a check-out card to be used on future canoeing adventures. Canoe waivers for children under 18 years of age must be signed by their parent or legal guardian.

The Chattanooga Arboretum & Nature Center reserves the right to revoke canoe usage during inclement weather, or following heavy rainfall when the creek is flowing quickly. Each canoe can seat up to two adults, and a small child. When renting two or more canoes for your adventure, we require one adult per canoe. Canoe check-out begins at 9:00am and ends at 3:00pm. Canoe trips are limited to two (2) hours. All keys and equipment must be turned in by 4:30pm. Reservations are required due to the popularity of this program.
