We rode this yesterday 4-20-2025. Easter Sunday. It is a beautiful trail and well maintained. We found a coffee shop called Your Perfect Cup in Mansfield for a nice snack before heading back.

Stone Mountain Trail

Not for beginners

Drove out to stone mountain to do the 6 mile loop and was met with hills upon hills.

South River Trail

We ride this trail the most and Elena did serious damage to the trail. We now park at MLK HS as the South River parking is under construction. We appreciate the clean up done after Elena, however another large tree needs to be removed about a mile north of the SR trailhead.

We rode 10 miles out and back for a total of 20 miles. We loved riding through the countryside, asphalt and concrete surfaces with well marked traffic crossings. we will be back!

Roswell Riverwalk

Didn't really like this trail for bike riding...you have to ride in the busy street on parts of it and I'm not a big fan of riding in the street but if that does not bother you then you might like this trail.

South Peachtree Creek Trail

great short trail

March, 2025 by kmrrrbt5st

Short and sweet. A bit challenging

North Oconee River Greenway

Now joins the Firefly trail for a longer ride

January, 2025 by jking28

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.

Cricket Frog Trail

December, 2024 by ayantelshops

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.

Cricket Frog Trail

Bridge is now complete

November, 2024 by gregr147_tl

The bridge and paving is now complete so there is now 14.25 miles of continuous paved trail.

Harris Greenway Trail

There is a 3 mile loop around the lake that is not shown on the map.

Big Creek Greenway

Lots of boardwalk on southern end

October, 2024 by evada

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.
