To start with, getting to this trail can be an adventure. Just as I got to the intersection of Friday and Big Texas Rds. the satellite service cut out then told me to turn left instead of right. I advise printing out directions before leaving home. There is absolutely no signage at the trailhead. You just need to know that shortly after you turn left from Big Texas onto Huffiger there is an opening on the right (parking) and a trail on the left. It is clear the RR once continued behind the parking area but this requires development- my view is that it is not currently bikeable and maybe if they don't cut the weeds, not really hikeable come later spring/summer. Cross the road from the parking area to begin your upward grade. The trail has medium sized stones that make MTB tires required. The rail bed is rough and there are lots of pine cones, pine needles, gravel chunks, sticks of varying diameters and some ruts that must be navigated. I proceeded to the bridge over Cabin Creek, crossed Big Texas Rd. and continued to the Friday Rd. crossing. All along there is no directional signage. I just assumed I was on the right trail. It gets confusing at this Friday Rd crossing. There is a fancy gate indicating a private drive but it appears that the trail continues to the left of this gate/wall. However when i crossed to check it out I noted thick mud heavily rutted by what likely was an ATV. This did not look hospitable for a biker so I turned around. That amounted to a 5.5 mile round trip- only a little over half of what I had hoped to accomplish. In my opinion this trail needs a lot of work in the form of signage and repair of the heavily rutted mud areas in order to be worth the trip. Just seemed a little directionally sketchy and impassable at that intersection. You can see the other end of the trail when you return towards Summerville but there too it is unclear as to what the parking situation is. No real signage other than a road sign warning motorists of hikers crossing. Georgia, you can do better!
Sidewalk trail with too much traffic. Very Intimidating, could not enjoy for fear of traffic.
Rode from Rambo trailhead north to Van Wert in early March 2025. I think this is the best part of the trail. Very quiet and scenic with few road crossings and the trail is in excellent condition.
I enjoyed it. Very easy and safe. There’s a bike track here too.
Be prepared for walkers, sidewalks, hills and traffic ¿
After riding a couple of rail trails in Ga and Al my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed having this non-typical ride. The long straights of open asphalt being replaced with wide curvy smooth cement was refreshing. The trail is very well maintained and marked. Love the yellow center lines that keep traffic safe. The primary loop has long spaced center lines and the spurs loops or legs have shorter lines making it easy to know which path you want to take. Plenty of resting spots, and restroom facilities along the route. We have done the winter trip now and will be back for a spring trip after the bloom. Hats off to the Carrollton trail maintenance team.
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!
Pleasant trail through wooded marshlands, but the southern end (from about 3 mi. north of Fowler Park south) is largely boardwalk, which a bit dicey for thin-tired road bikes. Also, as of 10/2024 a bridge was closed at about 3.5 miles north of Fowler Park.
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.
This trail wraps around the golf course. It’s clean and quiet. Has a few gradual elevations but nothing hard. I didn’t notice at first.
