Great for beginners like myself. Beautiful scenery.

Rock Creek Greenway

Pleasant Evening Ride

May, 2026 by heylookitsashley

The entire path is lit now which makes it a perfect evening ride. Less people to navigate before Wilshire. If you’re coming from Rock Creek, stay on the right when the path splits because stairs are on the left. FYI, Longwood is closed until Summer 2026.

Harris Greenway Trail

Connects two nice parks with additional riding opportunities!

March, 2026 by lauren.blais.7

The Harris Greenway could be thought of as three connected trails: the newer section at Harbins, the section at Tribble Mill, and the suburban connection in- between. This middle section is less scenic, but it is arguably the most important as it provides access for the high school and all the neighborhoods to two very nice parks. As a previous reviewer noted, there’s a full loop around the lake at Tribble Mill, and while it’s hilly and curvy, it’s mostly shaded. The surface here is asphalt, and is buckling in some places, but staff have made significant effort to mark these small hazards (as of early fall 2025 when I rode). Tribble Mill has all your standard park amenities and is a great place for a picnic if you’re starting from the other end of the Greenway. The suburban connector has a big hill down to the river, so if you’re not on an ebike, get ready for exercise! The side towards Harbins Park is newer, with rolling hills, a lovely boardwalk and more neighborhood connections. Harbins Park, while lacking the focal point of a lake that Tribble Mill has, is a nice park in its own right. There’s also another couple of miles of paved trail between all the mountain bike trails, and while it’s hilly, it’s completely shaded. I took my ride and pictures in early fall 2025. I meant to share them sooner since this trail had not received as much attention on TrailLink… but people are definitely out using it! I wound probably deduct half a star because I think more could be done to separate/protect the suburban section from the busy road, and there could be better wayfinding at the Tribble Mill section. But the Harris Greenway— with its connection to two nice parks — is a great trail. I drove over from Athens to check it out, and I’m glad I did!

Ivy Creek Greenway

be aware – bridge currently being rebuilt so you can’t get all the way to the mall from the heritage center

March, 2026 by meg51_tl

Walked starting from the Gwinnett environmental and heritage center, but couldn’t get to other end of Greenway as planned because they are currently rebuilding a bridge where the trail turns to go toward the Mall of GA. Instead, did the stretch down to the suspension bridge plus the Wildlife Observation Loop Trail and still achieved 4.6 miles. Not sure when the new bridge will open but looks like they are making good progress.

Bill and Dustie MacKay Trail

Popular walking trail

Paved and shady, but in winter moss on the pavement can make it slippery. Many tree roots make for a bumpy ride for bicycles or skates. If you like biking on pavement try the connecting Terrora circle and Old 441 that has light traffic and follows the river. Delightful even on a sunny winter day. .

This trail covers City and wooded areas. Starting in Alpharetta is good. Great boardwalks, shaded scenery. Great Day Ride! Saw some Dear and other wildlife.

Nancy Creek Trail

nice trail.

June, 2025 by tcoakle2

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.

Roswell Riverwalk

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.
