Formally incorporated in 1956, Reflection Riding grew out of the imagination of John and Margaret Chambliss who took an old, worn out farm threatened with industrial commercialization and turned it into a place of natural beauty where people could escape the pressures of city life for a moment of solitude in harmony with nature.
The name Reflection Riding was chosen to define the type of place Mr. Chambliss wanted to establish. Ridings were a typical English creation of the mid Eighteenth century – though more difficult to define than to imagine. The focus of a riding is on the progression – the pleasant and varied way in which it winds along throughout the scenery – an active view of the changing landscape. Mrs. Chambliss added the word reflection to draw attention to the natural beauty reflected in the surrounding ponds and creek, but also to emphasize the area as a place for reflection.
This cache is located in an area dedicated to the Chambliss family. Once you pass through the gate (mention RiverRocks and show your GPS unit for free admission Oct 5th-14th), Proceed on the one way road and take your first left by the pond and stable and follow the signs to the Humphreys House. Co-ords for this parking area are listed below under 'waypoints'.
Reflection Riding has changed its name to; "Chattanooga Arboretum and Nature Center" and is open Mon- Sat from 9AM to 5PM, Sun 1:00 PM-5 PM. No dogs are allowed and the policy is STRICTLY enforced. For more information on this beautiful area see: Chattanooga Arboretum and Nature Center
