Piedmont Park

Beautiful and busy urban park

January, 2024 by jaleonard9

Piedmont Park is Atlanta’s Central Park, and NYC’s park’s designer Olmsted was involved in the creation. The park offers winding paths and trails, as well as skyline views over lakes and fields. For runners, it connects to the Beltlines going both north and south, and also Freedom Parkway and the Carter Center. It is without doubt one of the best running venues in the United States. The only downside is crowds and lots of events.

What a pleasant surprise to ride this trail. It was my last day in Georgia and wanted to ride one more time before heading back north. It was an extremely hot day, being on mostly a tree covered trail, it was quite comfortable.

Rockdale River Trail

Very enjoyable!

It was certainly hillier than I expected. I have ridden many trails I have found on TraiLink and this is on the top of my list of great trails.

Oxford Trail

When I did the trail there were hidden bumps in the middle of it, and there was no parking.

Rockdale River Trail

We did all 9 miles and it was amazing. Lots of hills and even the south river bridge, would recommend this trail if you are looking for something challenging

Cricket Frog Trail

We did from a highway to east end road and barely needed to stop, not a lot of turns and not a lot of hills, definitely would do the rest when paved

Eastside Trail (Covington)

We had a nice time biking this trail. Lots of downhill depending on where you are going, would recommend this trail.

PATH400 Greenway Trail

It may not be long but it's a nice challenge and not crowded with lots of ops to stop and enjoy lunch or grab a beer.

Noonday Creek Trail

My husband and I walk/run the first part of the trail (from start to the TC mall) 3-4 times per week. Its so beautiful and peaceful. We've met so many "friends" whom we love to say "good morning" to and who brighten our day, everyday.

Cricket Frog Trail

Great biking trail!

Ride this trail today (East side) from Mansfield to the bridge. Nicely paved all the way, well shaded and beautiful scenery. Very slight fade in places but nothing steep. Talked with a volunteer who said the closed bridge section will hopefully be open in late 2024.

Ivy Creek Greenway

Labor Day walk

September, 2023 by 45hjmn7wtx

Shaded walk. Older walking trail with bikers, runners, walkers, squirrels and deer along the path. Good first walking path for us in Gwinnett County.

Arabia Mountain Trail

Good parking at Vaughters TH. Trail is wide, not to much traffic, plenty of shade and has several ups and downs. Will definitely be back to check out the spur trails.
