St. Elmo Food/Drinks
Neighborhood restaurants and bars
Great food and drinks, right in the center of St. Elmo across from the Incline. Lovely patio seating during nice weather, usually with live music. Expect it to be busy most nights, especially weekends. It is an easy bike ride (5 min.) or walk from the house (20 minutes). Very quick drive, but parking/traffic can be challenging during peak hours. If you can’t find a spot in their lot or on the street, a great free option is to park up in the Food City lot behind Mr. Ts and Mojo, and take the stairs/walkway down into the center of St. Elmo. There is also a big lot by the Incline that costs $2. The businesses usually validate parking in the other paid lots.

Very relaxed beer house in the center of St. Elmo that offers a great selection of beers and some light food options. A great option for bike and beers. Nice views of the mountain from their front deck. Also family-friendly, with a game corner.

Food around town
Yummy southern breakfast food! This place is pretty busy on Saturday mornings, so get in line early. The line does move pretty quickly, and sometimes it is faster to grab a spot at the bar. They do have a pretty efficient system of getting people in, and it is worth the wait. We like to bike down there (about 20 minutes) to avoid dealing with parking in the Southside area and to earn our yummy breakfast.:-) NOT open on Sundays, unfortunately.

With the new Atlas trail, there are now about 15 miles of Mtb trails here. It is a much easier ride than Raccoon but offers a faster overall speed, less climbs, and almost all flow.

Great Mtbing trail system located about 20 minutes from the house. It offers a lot of variety for trail distances and difficulty. Be aware that it does not drain as quickly as other places so avoid damaging the trails if there has been a recent rain - it can be very muddy in places.

Great paved trail that connects to the Virginia Ave. Greenway (walk/bike path) that runs through the center of our neighborhood. It provides miles of a paved walking/biking path along the river, all the way through downtown and beyond. They have bike share stations along the way, so you could grab a bike at the Incline and drop if off at another location. Ask us if you have more questions about accessing the trail from St. Elmo. We often ride our bikes from the house to downtown for work, various events, and to get out and about around town. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Southside destinations, and about 30 minutes to get to the center of downtown.

This state park is located roughly 25 minutes from our house. There are fantastic canyon views, an impressive waterfall, and some nice hikes if you don't mind some stairs/elevation. It can get very busy on nice weekend days so if you want to avoid crowds (for a state park), go as early as you can.

A great area nearby on Lookout Mtn. There are two options; the easy way and the hard way. For a short & easy hike, drive up to the trailhead off of Ochs Hwy.
For a longer hike with more elevation gain, start at the bottom of the mountain on the St. Elmo trail. We often do this hike starting from our house, and it takes about 1.5 hours round trip minimum (depending on your pace and how long you hang out at the top).

A short hike with beautiful views!!
For a longer hike, you can connect to the Bluff Trail and take that all the way to Point Park.
The parking area is small, so it can be difficult to find a spot during peak tourist times.
