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 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!
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.
I really enjoyed riding this trail once I got past the street crossings. Smooth sailing all the way!
Sidewalk trail with too much traffic. Very Intimidating, could not enjoy for fear of traffic.
I tried this trail out today and found it hard to navigate to Kennestone once I got past the Marietta Sq. You have to ride on the sidewalks and theres way too much traffic to enjoy your ride. I also went in the opposite direction towards Smyrna for a few miles and the sidewalks seem large enough to not be intimidated by the traffic. Only went a few miles into Smyrna so I don't know how the ride is past Spring RD. Don't think I'll try this one out again.
