Lookout & Black Creek

The Lookout Creek and Black Creek Sites are managed by Reflection Riding staff. Created as a public park by John and Margaret Chambliss in the 1950s, Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center was dedicated to the study and conservation of native plant life. Designed in the picturesque style by renowned landscape architect Thomas Kane, the park is meant to enhance the natural beauty of the landscape. It features over twelve miles of walking trails as well as a 3.4-mile loop drive intended to capture a sequence of views throughout the property. Over 300 acres stretch along a mile of Lookout Creek, then rise slowly through pastures and meadows up the forested western slopes of Lookout Mountain. The Lookout Creek site hosts a boating led clean up as well as a lond based one.
