Save5 Points is a spectacular mountain bike destination that used to be an old coal town area. These well-groomed trails are only 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga but you'll feel like you're in a far more exotic place. These trails rival Raccoon Mountain for the title of "best in-town trail system." Beginner to advanced, it's all here. The Cloudland Connector Trail is the main multi-use trail, with even horses permitted. Everything else is singletrack with either excellent flow, tough technical sections, or both.
