One of the best things about East Ridge, Tennessee is Camp Jordan, where you can enjoy just about any kind of sport or activity you can dream up. With 13 ball fields, a walking track, playgrounds, fishing lake, picnic areas, volleyball and soccer fields, an amphitheater, and camping spaces, you and your family can spend the day or the week enjoying the place. 

However, if someone in your family is suffering with a mental illness, it is hard to enjoy anything. The City of East Ridge has some of the top mental health professionals in the state, so you can get some help for your loved one. Then, you and your family can get back to enjoying Camp Jordan and the rest of East Ridge.
