This has to be one of my favorites. Lots of restrooms, smooth, well used trail,felt very safe.
It is the best trail around Atlanta metro area. Full of nature.
This is a good trail with multiple starting points and parking. Connects to two parks so you will have to walk along the busy road.
We ride this trail today as part of the last and 25th GA Tandem Rally. Loved the trail and thanks to all those who had a part in making it happen! It’s a beautiful paved trail and really enhances your town.
We rode this yesterday 4-20-2025. Easter Sunday. It is a beautiful trail and well maintained. We found a coffee shop called Your Perfect Cup in Mansfield for a nice snack before heading back.
Drove out to stone mountain to do the 6 mile loop and was met with hills upon hills.
We ride this trail the most and Elena did serious damage to the trail. We now park at MLK HS as the South River parking is under construction. We appreciate the clean up done after Elena, however another large tree needs to be removed about a mile north of the SR trailhead.
We rode 10 miles out and back for a total of 20 miles. We loved riding through the countryside, asphalt and concrete surfaces with well marked traffic crossings. we will be back!
Wife and I rode two sections, first east from Cedartown for about 21 miles to just past the large tunnel. The first 4 miles (or so) is extremely challenging with a number of very steep grades. Our second ride was from Coots Lake trail head , again east for about 20 miles. This is a much easier ride with easy hills.
Overall this is a beautiful trail that is well marked. My only complaint was that every single water fountain we stopped at was inoperative.
We rode the full 91 miles from West of Atlanta to Alabama in mid March. It is a well maintained concrete trail that travels through the countryside. It is 95% a straight gradual inclined or decline, except for a few miles in the middle of the trail where there are quite a few hills. These hills are due that the existing rail trail was sold to private owners so they had to reroute approximately 5 miles section around the hills in the area. At approximate mile marker 43 we stayed at the Manor at Beck’s Lake bed-and-breakfast. I would highly recommend the B&B. These two trails are one of the best continuous trails I have ever written. Highly recommend.
Didn't really like this trail for bike riding...you have to ride in the busy street on parts of it and I'm not a big fan of riding in the street but if that does not bother you then you might like this trail.
