We rode 38 miles yesterday, and enjoyed the beautiful fall colors on this well maintained trail. Riding through the Brushy Mountain tunnel was amazing! Very little traffic and nice fall temperatures make this trail almost perfect for a November ride. Don't wait, this is the one you want to do. We rode from Rockmart in both directions and will be back for more!
We took a family outing for a virtual 5K along the trail. We picked it up at the Marietta Square and walked toward the mountain. Wide pathways and clearly marked. Check it out!
A great getaway from things for a couple of hours! The trail takes thru city streets, WG campus and the woods! Well maintained!
Beautiful trail, well maintained. We rode during the week and it wasn't very busy. Shady, clean (they were blowing off leaves while we rode), mostly flat, some small hills near alabama state line, fun!
It’s a great trail for Running, but it does need a restroom and a water fountain for when mother nature calls and you need to relieve yourself, I think that would help out a lot!
The Phoenix Trail in College Park doesn't carry many superlatives - it's not especially long and it's not especially scenic (it mostly passes through light industrial and hotel areas), but like a solid neighborhood bar or restaurant it's reliable, predictable, easy, and loved.
Actually, I think it does deserve a superlative - this might be the #1 trail for plane-watching. It's right next to Hartsfield-Jackson ATL Atlanta airport, the busiest in the world, so planes will drop down right over your head. At first this can be unnerving if it catches you by surprise, but is pretty fascinating once you're used to it. From the southern end of the trail, which dead ends at airport property, there's a great view of planes coming in to land on ATL's fifth runway.
I visit this trail at least once a month for biking and it's steadfast in being a great escape. I live in the Tri-Cities south of Atlanta (East Point, College Park, and Hapeville - put Outkast on your headphones), so I bike to the trail itself. Downtown College Park, with many small shops and restaurants, is just another mile on a slow and quiet road from the northern end of the trail. While I don't think there is any official parking for it, the Ruby Tuesday and Sleep Inn parking lot is adjacent to the trail and rarely crowded.
This is an awesome jewel in South Dekalb County. Easy access to the Michelle Obama trail from the GSU-Decatur campus lot. It’s sparsely populated, but interesting wildlife such as deer, squirrels, and rabbits. My mom and I walk this trail during the weekday and it’s very peaceful. Highly recommend if you want a peaceful walk and or run.
Love riding on the Silver Trail great for me. Those of us who have to ride in wheelchairs, come on out to the trails and enjoy the fresh air. You will love it.
Great trail! We enjoyed the trail. It has lots of never ending hills but it was a great workout. Trail is wide enough to share with walkers and runners but keep in mind that we didn’t see much of them.
The bridges on the trail are wooden and have holes in them that are covered by plywood. I fell off my bike when my tire hit a piece of the plywood and was banged up pretty bad.
