Description

Whetstone Creek Trail, built on an old rail spur, winds through the Adams Crossing and Windsor Hills neighborhoods of northwest Atlanta. Much of the trail travels through woodlands and Whetstone Marsh. Along the way, you'll also cross a scenic wooden bridge over Whetstone Creek. Just beyond the trees are commercial areas, as well as Dupont Commons, a pleasant residential subdivision, that lies at the trail's southern end.

Parking and Trail Access

Less than a block from the trail is Bolton Academy (2268 Adams Drive NW), a public elementary school, which has a parking lot.
