Nearby, through a pretty grove of hemlocks and laurel, is a 100 foot long suspension bridge over the creek, part of the Cumberland Trail. Upstream is the 1916 dam, the water usually cascading over its top. Around the half mile mark you'll come to a junction and must choose between a left turn to descend immediately to Rainbow Lake, or going straight to circle the lake on a 2.3 mile loop that is rocky and challenging. Whichever you choose, you'll eventually find yourself at Middle Creek. From the parking lot on Ohio Avenue, you'll walk alongside the golf course, then past an old spring house. Rainbow Lake was built in 1916 as part of the Signal Mountain Hotel (now Alexian Village) and since that time has remained one of Signal Mountain's most popular outdoor destinations. 🙌 // 📸: post shared by NOOGAtoday on at 11:17am PDTįor an accessible and memorable adventure with friends or family, we recommend hiking the Rainbow Lake Trail. 🤩 Gorgeous photo from Rainbow Lake on Signal Mountain, // Don’t forget to tag us or use #noogatoday for a chance to have your photos featured.
