Visited because we were in town for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Should have looked at the trail here on TrailLink before attempting. Short version: entrances to the trail were blocked, and what we were able to get to was overgrown, or lined with construction or trash, or occupied by people in tents. The new road bridge over the river has a good wide path, but we didn’t proceed down the ramp back to the trail for more of the reasons stated above. I don’t know if the current condition of the trail is solely the fault of the construction or what. But I’m sure the trail advocates in Macon are devastated… it’s clear there was a big investment at some point that has completely fallen off. So disappointed. I hope there’s a new wave of clean up, trail construction and restoration soon.
Parked in Old Starsville Rd parking lot. Rode to Mansfield and back. About half the trail. It is pretty flat very nice ride. This is very nice, shaded, and paved. Will definitely ride again
This trail is my absolute favorite. It's so serene and peaceful. It's well maintained. My favorite part is riding the bridge over the Alcovy River. Depending on where you park there's several places to eat, or grab snacks. A great coffee shop in Mansfield called Your Perfect Cup or grab some delicious Ice cream from Marketplace CREAMERY also in Mansfield. Plenty of places to eat and shop in Downtown Covington. Be sure to plan a visit, you will not be disappointed.
This trail is great! We start at Beaver Park entrance and ride all the way to downtown Covington. Eat, ride around all the old homes and homes that have been in films. Great scenery, quiet, clean and smooth. On the way back, we usually head to the Market Place creamery in Mansfield right off the trail at the end!
I rode this trail from the parking garage in Covington past Mansfield and back on August 14th for a total of 25 miles. It's up and down the whole way, with grades rarely over 1%, so not trouble keeping going. It fairly scenic passing swamps, farms, and fields. It also has three bridges, the longest over the Alcovy. The surface is concrete near Covington but transitions to asphalt a few miles out. There are a few tree roots starting to push up, but nothing more than mild bumps. Very smooth, otherwise. Mansfield has an interesting coffee shop I may try on the next trip.
Some things to know. It seems the parking garage (free!) in the center of Covington is the best place to park. There do not appear to be any public restrooms or bottle filling stations along the way.
I started the trail by Camellia garden, rather I attempted to start. The path is not walkable due to construction. It was muddy and not worth the attempt. Very disappointing.
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.
Most of trail is blocked by road construction. Can ride a little in the National Park but have to stay on paved roads….they have some nice hiking trails but off limits to bikes. Find some place else to ride until construction is completed….probably 2026 or 2027.
Entrance to trail through Central Park was terrible. Homeless, trash, feces, etc. Scary and sad. The trail really could be beautiful
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!
