I’m in wheelchair for one and half mile roll of flat and up hills, but I made it for being 78 years old. My daughter helped me up most of the hills. The dog came along and enjoyed it, too. Was a good morning walk. Lots of rest and water stops.

Nice path, but the hills near the intersections make it difficult to stop. Also it’s hard to gain traction on the slippery asphalt. Lots of water collected near the downtown portion.

We love this trail
It is a beautiful trail with tree coverage on most part of the trail
Running water along side the trail
Good amount of resting benches
Very well maintained
Zero complaints

Gorgeous area but for biking with kids there are a few areas that are very narrow. Not such an issue with adult bikers, but a bit more of a challenge when riding with kids and trying to stay clear of the heavy foot traffic.

I rode the trail on Sunday, May 31st. I encountered a couple of motorcycles and two atvs, driving at high rates of speed near the Dallas trailhead. Be careful out there.

I started from Gwinnett Heritage Center, did a few of the trails there totaling 3+miles and then added the Ivy Creek loop. This loop its self according to my recording in AllTrails says it was 6.2 miles....my whole truck was about 10miles. I feel good but I am down for the count. Don't be me and wait until your done after 3 hours to eat your first meal of the day though!!!! Luckily I had water! 11-1430ish!

The Spring Road Trail is another wide sidewalk type trail which requires the rider to ride alert. The trail is poorly marked and has few Bike crossing signs for the car traffic and few stop/yield signs for the bike traffic. It crosses a lot of commercial parking lot entries and exits and small roads, some of which are very rough, but the trail mostly stays on the north side of Spring Road, which is normally a busy, high speed road. It does have a few crosswalk buttons to stop cross traffic.

This trail starts at Atlanta road, where the Concord Road Trail ends and makes a turn across Spring Road and continues along Cumberland Blvd. where it connects with the Silver Comet Cumberland Connector Trail behind the Cobb County Transit bus station at the Cumberland Mall.

Also, if you continue straight along Spring Road, across Cumberland Blvd., you will arrive in about 1/4 of a mile at The Battery after crossing U.S. 41, a commercial/ office/residential development which contains Truist Park, the MLB stadium where the Atlanta Brave play.

This trail starts on a difficult uphill at a parking lot just off the SIlver Comet Trail. The trail is well paved and has a lot of small hills and requires the rider to stay alert, as it is basically a wide sidewalk which crosses a lot of driveways and the entry/exits of a lot of subdivisions. Most crossings are not well marked with bike crossing signs for the car traffic or stop/yield signs for the bike traffic. The trail also has several utility poles in the middle of the trail to watch out for.

This trail crosses back and forth over Concord Road several times at traffic light regulated crosswalks, where it is best to wait for the light and stay in the crosswalk, as Concord Road normally a very busy, high speed road. Last time I rode this trail in 2018, most crosswalks did not have buttons to trigger the lights. Be especially careful of Southbound traffic turning left off of Concord Road onto North Cooper Lake Road. This V intersection is especially dangerous to bike traffic. The trail does connect directly to another trail that will take you most of the way to Truist Park, where the Atlanta Braves now play.

It’s not very long yet, but it’s a great trail anyway.
