Special Events

Lula Lake Land Trust offers special event fundraisers throughout the year. Ticket sales for these events go back into LLLT's efforts for conservation. Check back here for more information on our 2020 signature events. 

Brewery Quest: Alternative Beer Festival
While the traditional Hike Bike Brew festival cannot happen as planned, where there's beer there's a way!

Here's your chance to embark on a solo mission in search of ice cold greatness WHILE supporting Lula Lake. You pick when and where you begin your journey of visiting each brewery. Different premise, same unique experience as the original Hike Bike Brew! All ticket proceeds will go toward Lula Lake's trail work and conservation efforts.

With your Explorer Ticket, you'll receive a limited edition 2020 Hike Bike Brew eco-friendly souvenir half-pint cup, a voucher for a Hike Bike Brew pour (half-pint as you would at the original beer festival) from 8 participating breweries, a 15-foot of trail work guarantee, and that priceless feeling of supporting Lula Lake's hard work in our community.

A limited number of extra souvenir cups are also available for purchase.
Lula Laker: 19-Mile Independent Race
Be one of the first to set foot (or wheel!) in this new race series for trail runners and mountain bikers.

The 19-mile Lula Laker race course is within the famous trail systems maintained by Lula Lake Land Trust. Divided between two days, 100 runners will compete on Saturday, October 24 and mountain bikers will compete on Sunday, October 25 in this socially distant, independent race.

But what is this an independent race? Simple, we have a window for start times each day, and each participant is responsible for tracking their race time through your GPS of choice. Show up, check-in, and hit the trails with a 5pm deadline to finish. You can track your progress with Lula Lake's official Strava course or your preferred GPS tracking app.

The top 3 runners and top 3 mountain bikers will receive a one-of-a-kind prize package worthy of your Lula Laker efforts!

Behind the Waterfall

Lula Lake Land Trust was established by the will of Mr. Robert Davenport, Sr. at his death in 1994. Since then, his children Bobby, Elliott, Eleanor and Adelaide along  with the Board of Trustees, local foundations and staff have helped to conserve over 8,000 acres on Lookout Mountain, doubled the size of Cloudland Canyon State Park, built nearly 60 miles of recreational trails spanning private, conservation, and state owned lands. Our fee owned properties are research sites for  UTC, UGA, and the State of Georgia Forestry Division as we seek to reintroduce the American Chestnut Tree while attempting to fight the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid with both chemical and biologic agents. We are in continuous pursuit of additional properties to protect and conserve within the Rock Creek and Bear Creek watersheds on Lookout Mountain. We seek to become outstanding stewards of conservation lands surrounding Chattanooga, Tennessee along with our 6 other land trust partners in the region.
