There are spades of beautiful places to visit in Tennessee, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a hike as stunning as Pot Point Loop. It’s lesser-known than the trails that criss-cross the Great Smoky Mountains, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. This southern Tennessee hiking trail has to be seen to be believed. Great views, riverfront meanderings and a slight increase in elevation provide all the beauty and challenge you’re looking for in a hiking trail. Learn all about this Tennessee gem below.
Pot Point Loop in its entirety is an 11.2-mile loop trail that begins near the Scenic City of Tennessee, Chattanooga. The trail is rated moderate in difficulty.
The dog-friendly trail is best used from the months of March to October, and Pot Point Loop operates as an add-on to the Cumberland Trail. It's officially located in the Prentice Cooper Wildlife Management Area.

Although the trail is long, the loop is considered a low-key sampler of the ultra-challenging trek across the Cumberland Plateau. Natural outlooks and outcroppings are scattered across the trail.
The trail does gain a solid amount of elevation, but it remains fairly gradual. You can experience the trail as a day trip, an overnight backpacking trip, or maybe as you camp in the famed McNabb campsite.
Hikers that make it all the way out to Snoopers Rock Overlook are rewarded with a grand view. If you'd rather not hike, there is an option to drive to Snoopers Rock.
Whether you decide to gallivant the trail for hours or hike the simple half-mile to the Snoopers Rock Overlook, Pots Point Loop is well worth the experience.
Free, beautiful and close to Chattanooga, there's really no better place to experience the beauty of Tennessee. Have you been? Do you have any tips? Make sure to include them in the comments below!
