… between Wieuca and Loridans roads. Note that the extension starts west of Ga 400, making it necessary to cross the bridge over 400 from the previous end east of 400. Well-shaded route through a valley to cross under 400 and a creek en route to Loridans. Still no markers to navigate through the Tower Place area between Peachtree & Lenox roads. Inquire locally for details.
I rode the Powder springs to Hiram area on a Sunday. I parked at Dillard St. connector. A few parking spots available. That was an easy, pleasant ride. I also parked at the Rambo nursery TH, off highway 6. This was a good spot for ride across the Pumpkinvine Trestle bridge and the Brushy Mountain Tunnel. There were many massive boulders along this stretch which made for an unexpected, beautiful ride.
I also rode from Cedartown Train depot towards Rockmart and quickly encountered hills and big elevation changes. I rode only a few miles and returned to start. This was also a remote area once out of Cedartown, either direction. Check your sources for all elevation changes along trail.
The Fall Line Trace is an 11-mile paved trail and one of my favorite features of Columbus. It uniquely connects the city from uptown to midtown, making it easy to experience multiple parts of town in one continuous ride or walk. What really adds character to the trail is its historical significance—it follows the old Central of Georgia Railway corridor. Riding along it, you can’t help but imagine the stories and history that once traveled these tracks. The pavement is in good condition, and street crossings are clearly marked with crosswalks, which makes it user-friendly and accessible. The trail can take you from Flat Rock Park past the iconic Burger King Train Station, through CSU, and all the way to the RiverWalk downtown. The trail is popular and often busy, so it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings and watch for other cyclists and pedestrians. If you’re riding a bike, be sure to have lights installed—this is enforced. Overall, the Fall Line Trace is a great blend of history, recreation, and connectivity, and it’s a standout asset for the city of Columbus.
Great old rail trail. Fully paved. Pitch black at night. There are little to no objects ever in the path. Open from 5am to 11pm. You have to yield to pedestrians. Pass on the left with early audible warning. Plenty of leaves and little twigs in the fall. The winter months doesn't appear to have much upkeep. There's a couple of bridges that are 10 mph max speed. On late Dec. '25, the restrooms across the way at The 14th St Pedestrian Bridge from where the trail ends at The Riverwalk were locked on a Sun. morning. Once you get to 5th Ave. & 14th St -where there's a Circle K, you'll have to wait at a lot of crosswalks all the way to The Riverwalk. You will probably encounter 1 or 2 male bums on 14th St. Also there are what appear to be perminately locked restrooms at the 28th Street crossing near where there is a under-funded and abandoned police bike station. There's always a lot of pesky large pine cones by The Metra Station and Linwood Cemetery. The next restrooms from where the trail starts at The Riverwalk are 4.5 miles away just beyond The Burger King by Columbus State University. Once you enter into the trees past Slade Dr heading northwest there is 1.7 miles of nature and full shade including a nice water crossing bridge before Hilton Ave. After Clubview Dr crossing and past The Hardaway High School Athletic Complex there are some of the tallest trees in the city near a large retention pond with a fountain. Heading NW you then enter a heavy duty bridge that crosses I-185 and it's back into the trees by The CSU athletic complex. You can hear Lindsey Creek waterfalling as it flows out from under the trail by Peachtree Mall and CSU soccer field. After all of that you are just about out of all the commotion and bustle of a urban city. The rest of the trail is quaint but kinda still a little suburban getting more rural as you go.
I love this trail, my imagination runs wild thinking about the history behind it. Very well maintained and freshly paved. I hope they continue to expand it.
Named after the famous train that was also named after the greatest horse of all time. I love the history behind this trail. The trail follows the path of the retired diesel train. Well paved and maintained. Stop by the chamber of Commerce in Hamilton for souvenirs and free refreshments.
Wonderful Greenbelt with plenty miles...we got 29m out of it. One broken up spot, but manageable. Great downtown area restaurants.
Very nice ride. The inclines are a bit long, which makes the downhills a breeze!
If you’re up for the challenge of nearly continuous hills, you’ll be rewarded with a lovely ride through nature on this well/signed, well-maintained trail. It’s a great training ride! One suggestion I have for riders doing the Rockdale River Trail is to start at Lorraine Park— where there’s a public bathroom— and bike the three miles to the monastery, then turn back to your car. At that point you can decide if you feel exhausted by the hills or warmed up enough to continue to Panola Mountain State Park, etc. As reviewers said, this trail connects to Arabia Mountain trails, Panola Park trails, and at least part of the South River trail of you wish to extend your ride. Today I turned back at the start of the Arabia Mountain trail, went past the lake to the state park and visited the nature center (which has snacks and drinks for sale during the day), then took the lake loop to get me back on the Rockdale River Trail. The maps on the trail are great and I only got confused once, near the state park where I almost turned toward the Rock Road spur instead. The trail is hilly but mostly shaded, except where it briefly passes through power easements and a few stints along the road. There are two road crossings, one of them with high speed vehicles, so keep that in mind if you have little ones with you. I saw the Rockdale County trail maintenance people and thanked them for their work… the shoulders are clearly regularly mowed and grass/dirt encroachment is almost non existent. The pavement still looks great, even if the paint is fading. All impressive considering the challenging terrain.
Beautiful morning for a ride. We enjoyed the ride and the scenery! We look forward to adding this one to our rotation of trails.
We started at Parker House and took the path to left instead of the one along the river. We were on hybrid bikes and it was too hilly for us - turned around. We drove up to the Monastery which is beautiful . We passed under the covered bridge trail … but did not attempt.
