I’ve ridden on this trail many times both ways and it’s a very nice trail but it is best is you start from the Marietta Square and go towards Kennesaw mountain. The trail going towards the mountain is well paved and very good for biking as it does have a few hills along the way. Going towards the river though is not complete and is a lot harder to navigate once you go past the cemetery. I wouldn’t recommend going that way as the side walks aren’t the nicest and there isn’t much there, just road and train tracks. I’m pretty sure it is unfinished though. This trail is very nice and it is a very good trail for walking, running and biking and I would recommend taking a few friends or family members to go on it and maybe even go up the mountain
I grew up here in Ptc and know how bad the young drivers are. I was one of them. You get way more experience than most kids do. At night/ evening I walk my dog with my daughter. You must make yourself visible!! I put a bright... light on my dog and we both carry flash lights. Insanely bright flash lights. Just be aware of what’s around you. Especially the kid texting and driving coming up behind you.
This trail leads to a river side trail to the river access at the old Settles Bridge and back up north to a private subdivision. Nice river views, level, and secluded.
The scenery and the set up is great for bike riding and nice walks with the wife. However, we haven't seen any deers or wild animals yet.
It was a wonderful feeling being able to ride on the Michelle Obama trail and ending up at the Barack Obama Elementary School.
We rode the Big Creek Greenway today. Very well maintained and fun to ride. Lots of families getting some fresh air. It was good to be with my fellow Americans enjoying our freedom¿¿
The trail is well maintained, relatively flat, and very very scenic once you get out of town. We'd definitely come again.
We rode 38 miles yesterday, and enjoyed the beautiful fall colors on this well maintained trail. Riding through the Brushy Mountain tunnel was amazing! Very little traffic and nice fall temperatures make this trail almost perfect for a November ride. Don't wait, this is the one you want to do. We rode from Rockmart in both directions and will be back for more!
We took a family outing for a virtual 5K along the trail. We picked it up at the Marietta Square and walked toward the mountain. Wide pathways and clearly marked. Check it out!
I love the Westside trail! I live in midtown so it's a fun ride over on my gravel or road bike. You can hit some nice gravel trials over near the the grant park portion of the trial. Off the Westside trial are some great breweries where you can stop and get an Emergency drinking beer and a walkin Taco!! The only con; currently you do have to go down some congested roads to get back to the trial where it's not finished yet. It will be nice when the trial is complete.
A great getaway from things for a couple of hours! The trail takes thru city streets, WG campus and the woods! Well maintained!
