Catch a fun-filled boat ride on Chattanooga's newest riverfront addition, The Fat Cat Ferry or the Chattanooga Water Taxi, docked at the City Pier at Ross's Landing, only a block away from the Tennessee Aquarium. We now offer three boarding locations 1) The City Pier, 2) Coolidge Park and 3) The Passage generally leaving on the hour from the City Pier. The City Pier is just steps below the Tennessee Aquarium on the City Side.
Step aboard and enjoy the City's $125,000,000 waterfront from a spectacular vantage point while we cross the TN River, just as John Ross ran his ferry in 1815 to reach his historic trading post on Chattanooga's North Shore at our concessions dock facility at Coolidge Park. You may disembark at Chattanooga's Coolidge Park, ride the Carousel, shop, have lunch and catch the next Ferry.
From Coolidge Park,we continue up River and around Maclellan Island. Our next stop is our dock facility at the Island, an 18-acre bird sanctuary featuring Great Blue Herons, Osprey and migrating Warblers. Explore the Island by walking its nature trail. A donation of $1 per person will be requested to support the Chattanooga Audubon Society's local efforts should you choose this adventure.
