Chief Ladiga Trail

excellent ride!

April, 2025 by waterdeva

The trail is mostly freshly paved and in great shape, relatively flat and beautiful scenery!

Aldridge Creek Greenway

Update: connector completed

April, 2025 by askrens

They have built a very nice bike path that connects the middle and the southern sections along Bailey Cove Road. There are also lights at the crosswalks. Thanks!!

Tennessee River Greenway

Walk north along gravel road

April, 2025 by askrens

From the Kingston Pavilion at Ditto Landing, cross the bridge and walk north along the river. Also suitable for gravel or mountain bikes. About 60% shaded. Beautiful walk.

Railroad Park Rail Trail

Nice

April, 2025 by sweetshanique22

Nice park with train visibility, bad parking situation.

Decatur Trail

Mallard Point was the only saving grace

April, 2025 by askrens

The majority of this trail was extremely disappointing. I think TrailLink needs to go back and reevaluate a large section of this trail. A narrow sidewalk that runs along a busy street, for several miles, does not constitute a bike or walking path. Mallard Point was beautiful in mid April. That said, the large waterpark was not open. I would not come here during the summer because it’s probably total chaos. The large parking lots have the clear signs no RVs and no campers allowed.

Five Mile Creek Greenway

Great Ride and Overall Experience

December, 2024 by rjohns512

My wife and I rode this trail for the first time today. What a great trail system. Lots of elevation and wide trails. Smooth ride and no trail issues at all. It’s amazing how high some of the sections are. Parking was great and we enjoyed both parks!

Tennessee River Greenway

very scenic, light traffic

October, 2024 by bbraden

only thing keeping it from 5* is length. Parallels river 90%, light traffic. Surface is nothing fancy but in good condition.

Aldridge Creek Greenway

wide trail isolated from car traffic

October, 2024 by bbraden

well maintained trail, wide enough to accommodate walkers, skaters, cyclists, etc. with minimal, if any, inconvenience. No cross streets, though bridge interchanges require slowing down. Some narrow & blind spots, esp around RR underpass. Heat was not an issue, but probably more sun than shade overall, though not extreme. Light traffic on a midday Friday.
Aldridge Creek runs straight and shallow, not terribly scenic; extent of wildlife observed were a few aquatic fowl

Chief Ladiga Trail

my Go To!

October, 2024 by reeboksyl

My default ride is from the Eubanks Welcome Center In Piedmont to over into GA and back. It’s such an awesome trail and is always a joy to ride there. Well maintained and beautiful!

Chief Ladiga Trail

chief Ladiga

October, 2024 by amy2paul

Yesterday 10-10-24 we rode the trail. We parked near Jacksonville State Campus and rode the the trailhead to the Silver Comet start. Beautiful trail with great scenery. Only complaint was the asphalt needed some work. Some parts were marked when it was rough (although they’ve could stand to remark them) but lots of places weren’t marked so be careful and watch the road. We stopped in Piedmont for lunch at Elevated Grounds Coffee Shop. Paul had chicken salad sandwich and I had BLT. Both delicious ! The owner even greeted us when we arrived.

Sunset Drive Trail

Well Maintained

August, 2024 by w597ytgvpy

A very nice, well maintained trail with ample bathroom facilities, trash and recycle receptacles. Well paved double-lane path out and back. Beautiful views of Lake Guntersville and neighboring communities. Plenty of picnic tables and benches and water filling stations. If they could bridge busy Hwy 69 which you cross it might be perfect.

Chief Ladiga Trail

Nice, Mostly Flat Ride

July, 2024 by anthony.johns.6

Went about 7 miles into Alabama from the Georgia line on our ride. It was a good, fairly smooth and flat ride. Compared to the Georgia side of the ride, however, there was a bit less shade and the path was significantly more narrow. It was hardly problematic in general, but it did have a larger impact when people were riding in pairs or passing relative to the wider Silver Comet portion.
