This is TVA pump storage facility amazing place to visit breathtaking views long drive up the mountain but when your there so worth it scenic overlooks and quite impressive history there are some pretty scary mountain trails that I will never do but if your brave you might love it

Raccoon Mountain was a very cool place! This unique lake atop the Tennessee River Gorge was absolutely amazing. The views were breathtaking. We were greeted by a park volunteer, Mr. Mccool, he was so informative and kind. We enjoyed the rich history of this lake, the gorgeous views and hikes on the mountain!

This was a very good attraction, if you like caves. Nice and cool on the inside, and a great exercising walk. Don't drink the water at the end. The kids really liked it.

This cave is different then Ruby Fall as it is more natural. It takes about one hour to do the regular tour. They offer a six hour mud and belly tour were you go way inside small opening and get into other parts of the cave

Neat drive up Raccoon Mountain to find TVA's most efficient power generating station. A 500+ acre lake is filled with water pumped up from the Tennessee River. When more electricity is needed on the grid, the water is released to flow down through power generating turbines. Worth the trip to see the infrastructure and scenic views from the mountaintop.

The Tennessee Valley Authority built this pumped storage facility atop Raccoon Mountain. A pumped storage facility is for generating electricity. The facility pumps water up from the Tennessee River to a mountain top lake and stores it until time for power generation. The stored water is then released down through large tubes where it spins power generators to produce electricity. This TVA recreation area has a Visitor Center, picinic areas, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, and bathroom facilities. There is little traffic so road bike riding (walking, inline skating, etc.) is also good on the 4 mile loop around the lake. The views are amazing of the Tennessee River Gorge, downtown Chattanooga, and Lookout Mountain. But to be sure, it's not Raccoon Mountain campground and caverns.

Drove all around the lake, and hiked the trails. The visitor center wasn't open but still a neat little outside find in the area, to get out and stretch the legs. Worth hearing more about the dam.

Terrific hiking and marvelous views! It's rare to find a place that offers such solitude and scenery so close to the heart of the city!

We drove to the top of the mountain to check out the pumped storage plant. It was a lovely drive and a beautiful view. The visitor's center was a pleasant surprise - surprisingly high tech with a knowledgeable staff. However, we didn't get to tour the plant. Apparently, for a long time tours were not allowed for security reasons. They just recently came available, but when we visited, the elevator that takes you 28 stories back down the mountain was out of service. If you want to tour the plant, call first!

What a great place to hike and bike. The view is gorgeous and your surrounded by woods! You can take your dog and spend the day there.
