The West Cobb Trail is a 2-way dedicated pathway within the right-of-way of the Ernest Barrett Parkway (State Route 5 Connector). The trail follows the arterial through a residential part of the northwestern Atlanta metro area. West of the intersection with Old Highway 41 you can also find shopping and restaurants. Old US 41 is also where the trail meets the Noonday Creek Trail, which if you follow southeast for about 1.3 miles, will take you to the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
Parking is available at various locations along the path. However, none of these areas are designated parking for the trail.
If you want to put on some miles in West Cobb this is a good sidewalk trail. It connects to the Noonday Creek trail and keeps you off Barrett Pkwy. Trouble is the path runs right along Barrett and the traffic noise is great. It isn't kept clean other than by the usage and weather. Okay for adding 6 miles to your route.
