 Lookout Mountain Treasures
Lookout Mountain is located on the southern end of the Appalachians bordering Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. Its breathtaking vista includes hundreds of streams, waterfalls and creeks. Mountain temperatures provide a cool tantalizing environment dissolving the heat of cities.
Lookout Mountain is also home to the Little River Canyon National Park and one of the nation’s purest waterways, traversing nearly the entire breadth of the mountain at its apex. It is the only river in this hemisphere to run along the top of a mountain, flowing eighty-three miles to the DeSoto Falls, in DeSoto State Park. (Note: Little River is nearby, but not a part of Hidden Lake.)
