The concrete surface is in good condition. The path follows a stream, is in a narrow valley and probably floods frequently. Definitely avoid if raining. There were several spots with a layer of clay or sand from previous flooding. Very nice tree canopy, I enjoyed it.
I hadn't been riding in a while. It was an extremely pleasant ride.
The Main Loop was well-marked, plenty of shady areas to stop, and stunning lake views. Definitely worth the time spent. Will do this one again if I’m in the area.
My wife and I really enjoyed this ride around the town of Carrollton. Nice shady areas, fantastic lake views, and the main loop was well marked. We will definitely do this ride again when I visit my sister in Newnan, GA.
Grilling, Kayaking, Tubing, Boating Ramp and Etc Volleyball, Kids Playground, Trails and Watersports NOC Roswell, Beautiful Park for Kids and Adults. Had A Great Time with Family and Friends.
I love this trail. It is mostly flat and very wide alongside the river. I would like to add that there are many 1-2 Mile offshoot trails that are connected to very wooded and beautiful small trails - with lots of shade and uphill options. I’ve explored 3 already.
Finding a tail that is flat in Georgia I have found is difficult. This trail is flat and straight! Beautiful. And downtown Covington is so cute!
Wow! Beautiful paved trail sandwiched between Oostanaula River and Berry property. Winds around to Armuchee Connector and will soon connect up to Oostanaula Levee Trail. Great views of pastures, woodlands and the river. Great addition to Rome’s trail system. Must see!
Tried the trail in March. I started at Centennial Park and was very excited. Rode 20 miles and was only on the actual trail for about 2 miles (once I found the trail). I got to the east belt junction and couldn’t find signs. Went the wrong way and ended up back at the park. Attempted it again in May this time I thought I would start at Stone Mountain, that didn’t work either. First lack of parking lots second lack of signage. I gave up and biked around the mountain twice.
This trail is incredibly shady the entire way, which will be excellent on steamy summer days! This is a great place to ride your bicycle if you are just throwing a leg over to get back to exercising.
