I really enjoyed riding this trail once I got past the street crossings. Smooth sailing all the way!
Sidewalk trail with too much traffic. Very Intimidating, could not enjoy for fear of traffic.
If you park at the Sandy Creek Nature center, you can ride this trail and then join the Firefly Trail, which has the new bridge in place, and ride all the way to Winterville. The Firefly portion of the trail passes a convenience/gas store if you need water/food/bathroom. At that juncture you can also turn right, cross Lexington Road and continue on a trail into UGA, or towards East Athens on the other fork. This you can get a good 2-3 hr ride using all spurs.
Trail was closed at mile 8 in Covington with no warning, no detour signs and no way around it. Parking was unclear. Restroom only at Turner Creek Trail Rec Center. Lots of road crossings but very good signage and polite drivers who stop for bike traffic. Nice views. 4 stars.
The bridge and paving is now complete so there is now 14.25 miles of continuous paved trail.
There is a 3 mile loop around the lake that is not shown on the map.
Pleasant trail through wooded marshlands, but the southern end (from about 3 mi. north of Fowler Park south) is largely boardwalk, which a bit dicey for thin-tired road bikes. Also, as of 10/2024 a bridge was closed at about 3.5 miles north of Fowler Park.
There is construction being done crossing the Okovi river. The trail is closed here.
It's an awesome trail. The park offers space for multiple sports activities so there are always people around. The bathrooms are nice and clean. Part of the trail is padded with a material that has a little give or bounce to it. The material is great for the back, knees and joints over all. My friend has knee problems and she said that walking on that material helps her.
It's an excellent trail. I’m so happy to see my tax dollars going to good use. It’s a multipurpose trail and park. Part of the trail is padded with a material that has a little give or bounce to it. The material is great for the back, knees and joints over all. My friend has knee problems and she said that walking on that material helps her.
