This is a beautiful and easy trail to ride. There are several roads to cross that connect the trail, all are well marked except the last part of it that leads into Brookside, thankfully some other bikers road next to us to tell us where the rest of the trail picked up. It is also very well shaded. I would recommend this trail.
Tons of creeks and bridges shade benches along trail. Wild life. Easy flat smooth pavement .fun! Wheeee!!!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
BMMR North is a pleasant trail with adequate shade, some stunning vistas of Jones Valley & beyond (imgine there would be more to see in dormant foliage). Intersting relics of mining operations. Trail appears to be true rail trail for about 1.25 miles, though trail length is list at 2.0. There is no asphalt beyond parking lot; embedded rail ties still visible in most areas. Once reaching X with Redding Trail at some an impressive structure, the trail narrows and trends toward rougher surfaced until sweeping uphill on a grassy swale to connect with BMMR South.
Connectors between the trails are more difficult than typical railtrail; Wenonah Connector is great, until surface goes rustic to jump the ridge. Both better as out & back, from Venice Rd. Better yet, park off Bessemer Super Highway in Midfield & ride the High Ore Trail; carefully cross a marked crossing at moderately busy 2 lane, and do the BMMR North & Wenonah, then back to Midfield for about a 11 mile O/B.
parked at Frankfurt Circle, road part of BMRR South, connected to BMMR North , rode to Venice Ave, reversed, took Wenonah Connector back to BMMR South for return to Frankfurt. Would not recommend the connectors i used on any bike.
nothing extraordinarily scenic, but mostly forested trail. Outside of a few housing developments, the overall landscape likely hasn't changed much since the last trains ran this route, especially on the north end (terminus at Newfound Creek ravine. I found the trail a well-maintained path, although it is crushed stone, and may not be suitable for all bikes or riders. There was evidence of recent treefalls being cleared, and no noticeable trash on trail (benches & trash receptacles are scattered at random intervals). Trail is mostly shaded, although there are enough clea spots to feel the sun.
Traffic was considerably thin once clear of Black Creek Park, with only 2 joggers between I65 and Shady Grove Road; one lone cyclist who trailheaded on Powder Mill Road; on the way back a few more cyclists between the Shady Grove Road & Black Creek Park.
We ride our etrikes here a couple of days a month. It’s so beautiful and the shaded trails make every the hottest days (today was in the 90’s) bearable. Don’t miss this wonderful hidden gem just north of Birmingham.
This was our first long/all day ride. The trail really was beautiful, well maintained and paved the whole way. We entered at mile 1 and rode to the GA/AL line. The trail beyond Piedmont, which is the last populated area you will pass, is fairly remote, and at a very, very slight incline. The return is much easier! There are a couple picnic tables at the state line but no bathrooms. We saw deer and turkey crossing the trail.
