Recreation Area on River / No-Wake Zone

Builder Brock

Planted this seed

Create a dedicated recreation zone on the river by first initiating no-wake zone between Maclellan Island and Hunter Art Museum cliff wall and then improving access to paddleboards, kayaks, pedal boats, etc. around Ross's Landing (we should have those crafts available to "check out" just like we do city bikes). Cap it off with a public beach & green space on Maclellan Island we have an truly iconic outdoor play zone.

This is Laura with Chattanooga Audubon. We own Maclellan Island. I like this idea very much. Please reach out at lmarsh@chattaudubon.org!

Wonder if there's an impactful way to connect the riverwalk (by UTC football fields) with Maclellan Island in some way (floating dock or walking bridge?). It could serve as the gateway to the no wake zone and allow non paddlers to access the island. Additionally, maybe there's a way to tie any grant funding to the erosion control issue recently announced at Maclellan. A man-made beach might be the answer there.

Would be cool to merge your idea (or maybe vice / versa) into the idea i have on here for the hunter bluff climbing dock. These ideas seem very compatible.
