Chattanooga, Tennessee:
Tennessee Riverpark
One of the most engaging and popular projects to emerge from the Tennessee Riverpark Master Plan was the Riverwalk - a continuous circuit of parks, trails, and landmarks that stretches from the Chickamauga Dam through downtown Chattanooga to Maccasin Bend. The first phases have surpassed all expectations. The Riverwalk has been described as "a necklace with various jewels, each being unique and special high quality developments, along the way." Current jewels include the Tennessee Aquarium and Ross's Landing Park and Plaza, the Chattanooga Rowing Center, Centre South Riverport Industrial Park, the historic Bluff Furnace Exhibit, RiverSet Apartments and Heritage Landing residential development.

Crystal Springs, Mississippi
Chautauqua Boardwalk
From the Clarion Ledger, April 2002:
Chautauqua boardwalk now open to public
The second and final phase of an elevated boardwalk/nature trail has been completed and opened to the public at Chautauqya Park in Crystal Springs. The new 500-foot section of the Tree Top Trail brings the total length of the completed structure to 1,500 feet. Sally Garland, director of parks and recreation for the city of Crystal Springs, said the boardwalk, which winds through the trees in the heavily wooded park, has proved a popular attraction since the first 1,000 feet were completed in January. The 74-acre Chautauque Park, which features another 3 miles of traditional nature trails, is on U.S. 51 in Crystal Springs, approximately 1 mile south of the Mississippi 27 interchange.
