Trail Connector At Coopers Furnace

Hiking area

👍👍 Great trails with amazing views. Very short trails. Challenging in some spots but definitely not hard overall.

4.90 (14 reviews) (~29.86 km from centre)

Chattahoochee Nat. Rec. Area - Rottenwood Creek - Overton entrance

Hiking area

👍👍 It seems like the longer I live here, the better trails I seem to discover. This true GEM is tucked away right in the heart of the cumberland area. Literally wedged between high rises and highways, you would have never knew it was here until you took the time to look. The lush greenery, and rolling...

Peachtree Creek Greenway Corporate Blvd. Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Handy spot to jump on the trail just across the creek from the pink pony. I enjoy this paved trail along side the creek as it reveals an asset previously untapped. I can't wait for connections to beltline as well as to the north! It's great that Brookhaven has secured a grant to extend the trail! Im...

Briarlake Forest Park

Hiking area

👍👍 Cute park that serves as an oasis from the city. We enjoyed the park in the winter without much foliage but it still provided peace. There are fields and plenty of dog walkers. Easy walking trails.

Cheatham Hill Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 The trails at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield’s Park are Absolutely lovely Woodlands with clearly marked trails and beautiful natural preservation. Those who live near here are extremely lucky to have such a wonderful hike and bike area. Fabulous vistas from the top of the hillsides too.

Roswell Riverwalk Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Nice walk. Doesn't directly connect to anything as far as amenities are concerned, however, so best to figure out a good route to get back to your starting point. You can theoretically walk for miles, depending on where you begin, though the most worthwhile area are the wetlands closer to the beginn...

Iron Hill Trail Head

Hiking area

👍👍 Not a huge amount of change in elevation throughout the main trail. Lots of little side trails that go down to the water where it can be nice to dip your feet. Several loud boats around though. Still plenty of wildlife to be seen! Perfect for beginners, and very scenic.

The Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail

Park

👍👍 Nice paved trail which is great for running, biking, walking, etc. As someone who isn’t from Atlanta this was a great way to enjoy the outdoors and tour a bit of the city without sketchy areas or getting lost (although we all have phones, it’s sometimes good to disconnect) WORTH the time, I would s...

Sweetwater Creek Pedestrian Bridge

Hiking area

👍👍 Paddled upstream from just above class 4 rapids. Flow was 150 cfs. Above this pedestrian bridge there are two small shoals that you have to portage to get further upstream. You can just walk your boat over the rocks. At normal flows there is just enough water for a medium sized kayak or canoe to...

4.80 (32 reviews) (~20.71 km from centre)

Roswell Greenway Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Beautiful trail! Being surrounded by tall trees and seeing lots of deer along the way, couldn’t have asked for a better run while visiting

Fontaine Road Trailhead

Hiking area

Falls at Roswell Mill Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 I love walking bridges and wooden trails. This has got to be one of the best walkable trails I’ve seen near water. I parked near the top, first spot I found. I walked left downhill, then right to find AwesomeRestrooms and a covered bridge. Mill work machinery graveyard, a dammed waterfall and nature...

Bob Callan Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Great paved trail - perfect for after it has rained. The parking lot is quite small, maybe 10-15 spots but it wasn’t crowded on a Saturday around 10:30am. The trail was pretty empty when I went, I only passed 7 or 8 people over the span of an hour. There’s lots of trees and shade and very dog-friend...

Trestle Bridge over Nickajack Creek

Hiking area

👍👍 Beautiful bridge which is a prt of Silver Comet Trail crossing over Nickajack creek. From the close-by parking lot off Concord road you can take short downward trail to the creek.

Paulding Chamber Trailhead

Hiking area

4.70 (18 reviews) (~23.83 km from centre)

Island Ford Trailhead, no parking

👍👍 Park closed at 8pm. No bikes allowed.
