Why spend cash if you don’t have to? We all enjoy eating at a nice restaurant, having a few drinks at the bar, watching a movie at the theater + more. But there are plenty of free activities to keep you busy for days in Chattanooga.

A week ago, we asked readers on Facebook + Instagram to share some of their favorite free things to do in NOOGA. It turns out there are plenty of zero cost ways to explore + have fun in the city.

Here are some great reader ideas:

“Being a volunteer at events like Head of the Hooch, Ironman, Swim the Suck, Riverbend …” — Buck M.
“Biking on the Riverwalk, picnic and a blanket in Coolidge Park, Riverfront Nights.” — Sherry T.
“Coolidge Park and The Walnut Street Bridge most definitely!” — @cararogers69
“Hiking the countless trails, taking the pups to one of the many dog parks, kayaking the numerous creeks, lakes, and rivers…” — Kellie F.
