In case you missed it, former professional skateboarder, stunt performer + television personality Bam Margera was recently spotted in Chattanooga.

This had us thinking, where would we point thrill seekers to visit in the Scenic City? Check out these four spots to get your next adrenaline rush.

Lookout Mountain Flight Park
Soar through the skies and take in the views of Lookout Valley by booking a tandem hang gliding or paragliding session.

High Point ZIP Adventure
The 2025 season opens in March, where you can zip through the treetops and take on the 40-ft climbing wall with multiple routes of varying difficulty.

Chattanooga Skydiving Co.
Head to nearby Jasper to turn your dream of skydiving into a reality — you’ll enjoy the thrill of free-falling and then a scenic canopy ride overlooking the Sequatchie Valley.

Racoon Mountain Caverns
Take your thrills underground with trained cave guides as you journey through the network of chambers, canyons, tunnels, streams, and waterfalls beneath the mountain. Take the Wild Cave tour if you’re extra brave — this includes crawling on your stomach and squeezing through the rocks.

Bonus: Adventure seekers should also keep their eyes peeled for the return of the Chattanooga River Games extreme sports and music festival.
