Veterans Bridge in Chattanooga spans the Tennessee River just east of downtown, carrying traffic and pedestrians between the city and the North Shore. Beneath it sits Maclellan Island, a forested wildlife sanctuary managed by the Audubon Society. You won’t access the island from the bridge—it’s only reachable by water—but riding or walking across gives you a great overhead view of its wooded interior and quiet shoreline. The bridge itself has a wide sidewalk and bike-friendly path, making it a scenic connector along the Riverwalk or for anyone exploring the North Shore, Bluff View Art District, or downtown.
