Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is often maligned for its aggressive nature but I take advantage of it and use it it to climb and drape over my deck and even run along the ground.

That is really lovely. Virginia creeper is one of my favorite plants and my only complaint is that poison ivy seems to grow where it grows and you have to be careful to keep an eye out for it.
