Bike riders are a bit aggressive. Sad to see some on foot walking off the pavement for the sake of a biker to keep their pace. Slow down.
There is not a single thing I can find wrong with this trail. Well maintained Smooth grounds Good tree coverage from sun Minor hills Don’t hesitate!!!!
Four of us rode from Halcyon to end of this section of the trail (intersection of McFarland and 19 up to Kelly Mill Rd). This section is mostly comprised of boardwalk that was so slippery in sections that it was hard to even stand on. Two of us had pretty bad falls. I would not recommend this section of the trail for bike riding.
My friend and I have enjoyed discovering the LH Trail this spring. We take 4 miles walks morning or afternoon. We’ve heard the gurgling of the creeks, have spotted deer on the path or nearby and be serenaded by many birds. The hills are gentle mostly allowing us to enjoy added cardio without pushing ourselves too much. There are benches along the trail, a playground for young children and exercise equipment too. It is an oasis in the midst of SW Atlanta. It is favorite for walkers, a few runners and neighborhood residents.
I’m in wheelchair for one and half mile roll of flat and up hills, but I made it for being 78 years old. My daughter helped me up most of the hills. The dog came along and enjoyed it, too. Was a good morning walk. Lots of rest and water stops.
We got short rides going north and south from Spring Street entrance. The trial was broken up with highway construction projects. I’m sure trail is beautiful but check first as heavy equipment was everywhere.
Nice path, but the hills near the intersections make it difficult to stop. Also it’s hard to gain traction on the slippery asphalt. Lots of water collected near the downtown portion.
We love this trail
It is a beautiful trail with tree coverage on most part of the trail
Running water along side the trail
Good amount of resting benches
Very well maintained
Zero complaints
Gorgeous area but for biking with kids there are a few areas that are very narrow. Not such an issue with adult bikers, but a bit more of a challenge when riding with kids and trying to stay clear of the heavy foot traffic.
I rode the trail on Sunday, May 31st. I encountered a couple of motorcycles and two atvs, driving at high rates of speed near the Dallas trailhead. Be careful out there.
I started from Gwinnett Heritage Center, did a few of the trails there totaling 3+miles and then added the Ivy Creek loop. This loop its self according to my recording in AllTrails says it was 6.2 miles....my whole truck was about 10miles. I feel good but I am down for the count. Don't be me and wait until your done after 3 hours to eat your first meal of the day though!!!! Luckily I had water! 11-1430ish!
