Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will continue its free, historical bike tours through Chickamauga Battlefield. Ride length is approximately 3 to 4 miles on flat to moderately hilly terrain. The rides are appropriate for adults and children ages 8 years and older, when accompanied by an adult. Children must be able to ride confidently, without training wheels. All participants are required to wear helmets.

The public is invited to bring their bicycles (recumbent or handcycles are appropriate) and join in the leisurely-paced historical rides, which takes approximately 2.5 hours. NPS interpretive rangers will talk about the history, while law enforcement rangers and volunteers provide ride leadership and support. No reservation is necessary, just arrive a little bit before the appointed time.
