Neat trail but as of September 30th 2022 most of it East beyond Metropolitan is unpaved rocky terrain.
My wife and I rode the 10 miles out from Cedartowm -awesome trail-smooth and mostly shaded on a very hot Georgia day. We drank a lot of water on the ride only to find that there’s no restroom at Esom. Not good for a couple of 70+ bikers. The person at the Cedartown trailhead said that she didn’t know. Beware- still a great ride ¿
I rode the entire Silver Comet trail starting in Alabama on the Chief Ladgia Trail overnighting in Dallas. The Silver Comet Trail is completely paved, well marked and in nearly perfect condition. There are many road crossings but I never had an issue finding the trail and the few busier road crossings have traffic signals to make crossing safer.
There are a few important things to point out however. The large hill that parallels a landfill outside of Cedartown throws out the rail trail of the Silver Comet. It is very steep and riding from West to East there were two downhills where I had to dismount because I didn't feel safe going down a steep curving decline. Powder Springs and Rockmart have embraced the Silver Comet more as they have more signage directing trail users to local businesses, Cedartown hasn't done the same.
The scenery is gorgeous with great variation from streams, tunnels, a few trestles and plenty of trees providing much needed shade during the Labor Day Weekend heat. I encountered more trail users in the last 20 miles from Dallas to Smyrna than I did in the 80 previous miles from Alabama to Dallas. Almost all trail users were courteous and every driver I encountered at intersections yielded to cyclists.
I highly recommend contacting Rooted Trading Company in Powder Springs if you want to arrange shuttle service to anywhere on either the Silver Comet or Chief Ladgia Trails.
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.
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!
