1/- Chattanooga has been named the second-best city in America … for boating. This is from “Boat-Booker Magazine”… San Diego was voted #1, but Chattanooga is second, and our rivers and lakes, natural beauty, our waterfront, and our Southern hospitality are mentioned as the reasons why. We are #2 on the list for the best boating in America.
