Rode from Rambo trailhead north to Van Wert in early March 2025. I think this is the best part of the trail. Very quiet and scenic with few road crossings and the trail is in excellent condition.
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.
This trail wraps around the golf course. It’s clean and quiet. Has a few gradual elevations but nothing hard. I didn’t notice at first.
There is construction being done crossing the Okovi river. The trail is closed here.
We started at the Martin Trailhead just west of Cedartown and rode to the state line. It was a good, wide path that I was comfortable really getting up to speed on the straightaways because visibility was very high in most areas and the trail was mostly clear of major debris despite being almost entirely shaded. My son who was riding as a passenger did throw a small limb off the trail when we made a stop on the return trip, but I don't recall it being there when we came through the first time, so it had likely fallen or been placed on the trail within the last 2 hours.
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.
