Great old rail trail. Fully paved. Pitch black at night. There are little to no objects ever in the path. Open from 5am to 11pm. You have to yield to pedestrians. Pass on the left with early audible warning. Plenty of leaves and little twigs in the fall. The winter months doesn't appear to have much upkeep. There's a couple of bridges that are 10 mph max speed. On late Dec. '25, the restrooms across the way at The 14th St Pedestrian Bridge from where the trail ends at The Riverwalk were locked on a Sun. morning. Once you get to 5th Ave. & 14th St -where there's a Circle K, you'll have to wait at a lot of crosswalks all the way to The Riverwalk. You will probably encounter 1 or 2 male bums on 14th St. Also there are what appear to be perminately locked restrooms at the 28th Street crossing near where there is a under-funded and abandoned police bike station. There's always a lot of pesky large pine cones by The Metra Station and Linwood Cemetery. The next restrooms from where the trail starts at The Riverwalk are 4.5 miles away just beyond The Burger King by Columbus State University. Once you enter into the trees past Slade Dr heading northwest there is 1.7 miles of nature and full shade including a nice water crossing bridge before Hilton Ave. After Clubview Dr crossing and past The Hardaway High School Athletic Complex there are some of the tallest trees in the city near a large retention pond with a fountain. Heading NW you then enter a heavy duty bridge that crosses I-185 and it's back into the trees by The CSU athletic complex. You can hear Lindsey Creek waterfalling as it flows out from under the trail by Peachtree Mall and CSU soccer field. After all of that you are just about out of all the commotion and bustle of a urban city. The rest of the trail is quaint but kinda still a little suburban getting more rural as you go.
I love this trail, my imagination runs wild thinking about the history behind it. Very well maintained and freshly paved. I hope they continue to expand it.
Very nice ride. The inclines are a bit long, which makes the downhills a breeze!
We complete trail July 2025. It was a nice smooth ride. Great workout, we will do again many times
I started the trail by Camellia garden, rather I attempted to start. The path is not walkable due to construction. It was muddy and not worth the attempt. Very disappointing.
Gorgeous day for a ride. Went out to Pine Mountain and rolled the Man-O-War trail. Get out and ride folks ¿
Most of trail is blocked by road construction. Can ride a little in the National Park but have to stay on paved roads….they have some nice hiking trails but off limits to bikes. Find some place else to ride until construction is completed….probably 2026 or 2027.
Entrance to trail through Central Park was terrible. Homeless, trash, feces, etc. Scary and sad. The trail really could be beautiful
Nice Trail,Found Parking near Church,Smooth Enough for Skates, Could Use Some Maintenance.
Today April 11, 2025, we rode this beautiful trail. It is well maintained with asphalt in great condition, lots of mile marker signs which even have the kilometers and elevation on them, lots of benches to sit and relax on and a mix of open sunny spots and tree shaded spots. We stopped at the Callaway Country Store for lunch. There is a nice paved path to take you from the trail up to the store. On the way back we stopped at Hamilton Ice Cream Company for some chocolate ice cream.
