Point Park on top of Lookout Mountain is the only Designated Fee Area located within Chickamauga and Chattanooga NMP. The fee is $10.00 per adult (age 16 or older). Children 15 years or younger are free.

However, the park offers a fee waiver for educational institutions participating in field trips or educational outings. ONLY educational institutions bringing students who are over the age of 16 will need to apply for a fee waiver. Education institutions bringing students who are 15 and younger need NOT apply for a fee waiver for their students or their teachers/chaperones.

Sections 1, 2, and 5 of the attached form will need to be completed, even if your educational institution is not requesting a formal ranger-led program (please indicate on the form or in your e-mail, if this is the case).
