Rode the entire length of the original trail and then was treated to the partially open new trail extension, which adds another approximately 6 miles to this trail. The trail extension is more remote with fewer driveway crossings than the original portion. The trail extension is paved with asphalt, and the new bridges and boardwalk sections are made of non-slip composite material. The planners and builders did a great job in weaving this trail extension into the coastal environment. It is a joy to ride. As of May 1, 2026 there were only 2 points that were not complete. The first was a drive way crossing that needed to be concreted and the second is the new trail head at the end. I would venture a guess that the trail will be 100% by July 2026. I have included photos on the trail page.
Historic markers along the trail explain the history of the river.
So I am going to help someone else We rode from our condo rental in Daphne ( near Forest Marina. Took the sidewalk , cut through Publix parking lot and avoided 2 road crossings. Passed the old town and park of Daphne A park and lovely places for food There were some road crossings and sometime people would stop for us. The sidewalk and little bridge crossings were very rough. Think mountain biking. Made it the 8.5 miles into Fairhope for lunch. The second day we took our e-bikes to Daphne to ride to county rd 1. In hindsight the safest option for day 2 would have been to park around Kingfisher seafood - if that’s possible and ride a little farther down state rd 1. Very little traffic on that road and the bike trail so much better in this section. Would do that part again bu the sidewalk around Fairhope just too dangerous for my at 66
I rode the Chief Ladiga Trail in early March. It was a beautiful day. I started at the Eubanks Welcome Center and parked there. I rode to just inside the “Welcome to Anniston” sign. I pedaled about the campus in Jacksonville, then returned to start. Enjoyed the ride and bought a Ladiga T-shirt from the welcome center ladies. I met some friendly local ladies and a fellow biker along the way.
We had a hard time finding the parking for this trail. Directions on one of the earlier reviews was misleading and wrong. We finally found the north end of the trail and parking after several turn arounds. Off I 85 N heading to Atlanta take exit 79 to Valley. Turn right onto Hwy 29. Follow to 35th street, turn right. Then follow to turn left onto 22nd St. parking is at end of Street where trail begins.
The trail ends after about 1 1/2 miles. Go to right on Hwy 29 and you will see the trail again after about a half mile on the left side of the road.
We thought the beginning and ends of the trail were the nicest parts. Wooded and quiet. Mid section goes through the center of Valley along Hwy 29. Lots of traffic!
Beautiful expansive connected trails that will keep you riding for at least 28 miles. Perfect December weather. Coming back for sure to take more in.
Many trails throughout the park, paved, with several bathrooms and many benches. Lots of beautiful points of interests to stop and enjoy, I saw gators and deer. I traveled specifically to ride here, and I'm so glad I did
The Randall Parkway Trail ride was very rejuvenating! I hadn’t been on a ride in a couple of weeks and needed one badly. It was good to be out on a wide trail that walkers, runners and cyclists could share without fear of running into each other. The trail was a bit challenging as it was a bit hilly just slightly but gave my calves a workout. I didn’t like that I had to cross a somewhat busy street from the trail parking lot that had no crossing lights to stop the traffic for me. I had to take a chance of not getting hit.
It is a very smooth ride on this trail. It is just long enough for a “getting back to riding” trip that you won’t be too sore the next day. The height of the trail from the levee is a bit scary but well worth the ride. There are a few industrial businesses along the route which helps break up the ride. Unfortunately, There is one major road that you need to cross which drivers will not heed to bikers.
A pleasant trail with lots of shade for hot and humid summer saunters.
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.
