Williams Island is 450 acres and just a few miles down river from downtown Chattanooga. Accessible by boat, you can camp on the island as you explore the Tennessee River Gorge. 🛶 Trivia time: 🐄 The island has been inhabited for over 12k years and used for agricultural use—it still is today with a working cow farm! 🐦 This island serves as an important stop for many migratory birds. 🏕️ single and group camp sites are available for free! You just have to reserve them on @tnrivergorge ‘s website. #paddle #tennessee #camping #visitchatt #nationalparkcity
