The trail to Glen Falls is an easy hike where it leads to a high mountain waterfall below the ridge of the east portion of the Lookout Mountain. This is maintained and managed by the National Park Service. The trail is located in Walker County Georgia just outside Chattanooga Tennessee. You may start at a small parking area at the entrance of the trail. Most part of the trail is downhill trek which eventually starts a climb as it reaches near the waterfalls.

To get here starting from Dalton, take the I-75 north of Chattanooga and then turn west by taking I-24. Move forward to the exit 178 South and straight to the traffic light at Broad Street from which you take a left turn. Continue straight forward and upon reaching two roads, take the Tennessee Ave at the left where it will take you to the Ochs Highway.

From the Ochs Highway, the trailhead begins to a slight descent to a wide pathway. Moving along this path takes you 200 feet down the mountain where the trail emerges out into a spectacular view of the waterfall. The path circles the ridge of the mountain that gives you the option to explore a section of the Lookout Mountain. As you wind up with a series of short switchbacks, pace further into an eroded section of the path at the brow of Lookout Mountain.

The passage then begins to bring you closer to the falls. The mist coming from the water that plunges into the deep pool fills the air with a refreshing slight sprinkle along with the overpowering sound coming deep from the crevice of the mountain. The lower two falls are seen as you move towards a bridge. The bridge covered with fieldstone leads you to a small pond at the base of the falls. Past the bridge, climb some rock steps where it leads to a small tunnel in the rock and pace further.

Then the path begins to move towards the top section of the waterfalls where a passage through the rocks emerges out into a view that is about 30 feet above Glen Falls. At this point you will have an up close view of the waterfalls in this narrow passage. Glen Falls is made up of a series of small falls way deep into the boulders and rocks of the Lookout Mountain. This part marks the focal point of your journey where the magnificent scenic view makes the trip a short and worthwhile experience.
