This place is amazing!! I recently discovered it as my daughters do the Little Bellas program. The volunteers do an incredible job of maintaining this place. There is a huge parking lot and bathrooms that are clean. There is a training track and pump track and it is all free to use. You will often see people using the trails to walk their dog or just go for a stroll or run. Some trails are longer and harder than others, but there is something for everyone. I have only been on the mosquito trails as they are easiest and I am new to the sport. I want to make it to the Dwelling run sometime. I love that there are directions of travel on certain days of the week, so smart to keep the trail even. The scenery is amazing beck there! read more

Creek Park Trails is an amazing place to go on your bike on walking. Beautiful scenery, lots of trail to choose from mild to wild. From one mile trail up to four miles. In the cold climate, not to many people but still a wonderful place to enjoy and clear your mind. read more

I came to Blankets Creek Park and the mountain bike trails there are AMAZING!!!!!!! The amount of work put into these trails is amazing! People have worked so hard to build these trails! They have trails that are Great for beginners and they have trails that are for experienced bikers. Some features on these trails can make some of the best bikers nervous. They have ramps and drops and turns every where! The have one area that has huge jumps! It also has a huge wall ride! Towards the entrance they have little obstacles that are perfect for all riders. I haven't even rode not even close to all the trails and there is already all of this. I can't wait to come back! Thank you builders! read more

I'm from East Tennessee. I never could have imagined that a MTB Park like this would ever beat my old home local trails. This is the best that I've been too! They have easy, moderate and expert rated trails. Great place to ride! read more

I feel so blessed to have such an amazing trail only 15-20 minutes away! It's challenging, relaxing, beautiful, invigorating and pristine all at the same time! You can do the level that you feel that day. The ride wall is INSANE! I'm in my 40s and this would have been unimaginable as a kid. We rode on old dirt at construction lots. Seeing so few kids there, is a sad commentary on the sedentary / technological lifestyle of today's youth......But I don't mind the extra space! read more

As far as my mountain bike skills go, I would consider myself a solid average rider! Since beginning my "mountain biking career" a few years back, I've ridden about a dozen different mountain bike trails around Georgia. Blankets Creek is by far, hands-down THE best mountain bike trail around. I have to give two big thumbs up to SORBA Woodstock who do an amazing job keeping the trail maintained. There is a sign at the entrance of the trail system asking for a $1 donation... PAY IT! Heck, pay them $2. Because you know the money is well-spent once you ride the trails. My problem with most mountain bike trails has typically been that I get lost. You will definitely NOT get lost on Blankets Creek. It is extremely well marked and very well laid out. There are four trails in total at Blankets Creek. There are maps but since everything is well marked, you don't really need them: 1) Mosquito Flats = beginner's trail. This one is good for kids. It's relatively flat with some ups and downs to make it interesting and maybe one or two little hills to get your heartrate up. Do this trail if you're unsure of your mountain biking skill level 2) Dwelling Loop = intermediate trail. This is my go-to trail until I can improve my skills enough to try one of the advanced trails. This one is lots of fun and has a few pretty challenging sections to keep it interesting. My goal for 2013 is to be able to ride two laps on Dwelling without having to get off the bike and push. 3) Van Michael trail (aka Area 51) = advanced trail. I rode this trail only once. I fell about 30 seconds in and was bleeding from my knee. I pushed my bike up the hill for most of it. The downhill was a lot of fun. The difficult thing to me are all the little switchbacks (i.e. 180 degree turns going steep up-hill). Still working on those skills. 4) South Loop = advanced trail. I have never been on this one, so I can't really review it. It supposedly has a lot of roots and rocky areas, which make it very difficult. Some say it's more difficult than Area 51. Parking was an issue in the past, because their tiny parking lot couldn't accommodate all the fans of Blankets Creek. However, they've extended their parking lot. My advice: if you've never been mountain biking, try the Mosquito Flats. If you've been a few times, start with the Dwelling Loop and if that one bores you, try one of the more advanced trails. And be sure to wear a helmet! read more

How did this place even happen?!! And it just keeps getting better. As someone who began mountain biking in the '90s, I can't believe there is such a thing as a trailhead with pavement, bathrooms, and a bike wash station. Amazing. And the trails. The Van Michael Trail is the single best trail I've ever ridden, with incredible flow, banked turns, ample opportunities for air and just enough technicality to keep it interesting. I'm glad I live 45 minutes away or I'd wear it out. And even if those trail wizards at SORBA hadn't dreamed up Van Michael in an inspired fit of knobby-tired inspiration, the Dwelling Loop would be well worth a visit, climbing and swooping near the shores of Lake Allatoona. Pay the donation, because they obviously use it well. read more

As a part of my New Year's resolutions for 2012, I decided to make a progressively healthy change. I purchased a bike so that I could ride to (one of) my job(s), get more exercise, enjoy the outdoors, and clear my head. I was taken to Blankets Creek this past Saturday to ride for the second time since getting my bike, and my FIRST TIME EVER, on a mountain trail. Considering I was being accompanied by a total badass mountain biker duathlon rock hopper, I knew I was going to struggle. But I'm stronger than I look. When we arrived, the place was packed. Tons of people were chilling in the parking lot, drinking beers, chatting. Families were taking their kids riding, so I knew I wasn't just a lamb in a sea of wolves. All that was going on in my head was, "They're all gonna laugh at you!" I was a little worried I would end up bloodied in a ditch somewhere, having scribbled a note on his car saying, "Gone to Grady. Talk to you never." We obviously parted ways, I wasn't going to have him babysit and watch me run into trees and pep-talk myself while crossing narrow bridges. (F**KING TERRIFYING.) I rode the beginners trails, and had so much fun. You live and you learn from your mistakes. Take it from me, I hugged more trees than curves that afternoon, but it was totally worth it. I can't wait to go again. read more

Awesome trails for mountain biking. Some of the best in the Southeast. They have everything from beginner to intermediate to advanced. Multiple skill levels and even a skills building park. These trails are cleverly designed and well maintained by local volunteers who put in countless hours for the rest of us to enjoy. Hats off to all of you. Whether you ride clockwise or counterclockwise as the day of the week requires, you get similar levels of difficulty, climbs and downhill flows. Every trail is extremely well marked with multiple signs with trail names, direction of travel and intermediate and advanced sections. It is amazing how they were able to design trails to offer so much. It is mostly shaded so the sun won't be beating down on you constantly. A lot of nice tight single track, some open areas, bridges, switchbacks, berms, jumps and more for a whole lot of fun. Over the years these trails have only gotten better. The parking lot has grown many times over. There are multiple bathrooms by the parking lot (though they are horribly smelly), water fountains and even a bike repair area with a bike stand, air, and several bike tools. And the best part is everyone is friendly and respectful of each other whether on foot or rolling on nubbys. I've even had people help me out when my bike needed adjustment. Hope you enjoy these trails as much as I do. read more

Got to give it up the the creators and caretakers of Blankets Creek. This place is my favorite place to ride in the greater Atlanta area. The south loop has got to be the most technical 4 mile loop around. Today with the wet leaves it was terrifically tough. Thanks for making this place so awesome and keep up the good work. Give a hug to the guy who monster sized Quehl Holler, the downhill jump run. Absolutely bad ass!! read more

You have to love a place that has a sign at the entrance " This is a MT Bike Park, Bikes have the right of way" Yea that's right move over cause we are going 1000 mph with our hair on fire. There are more trails than you can ride in a day and some that even I was hesitant to go on. It is one of those places that you have to go up if you want to get down. Now there are flat trails that the kids can ride on, even with training wheels. Well kept up trails,a great crowd and great scenery. Its pretty awesome. Rad if I might say so. read more

Great trail system. Trails are well maintained thanks to the volunteers at SORBA Woodstock. I feel very fortunate to live only 15 minutes from here and am able to come and ride these trails every weekend. There are trails here for everyone, from beginners to experts. Lot's of variation to keep in interesting!!! read more

Fantasic, well maintained, easily navigated mountain bike trail system. If you like to ride, then look no further. Here you will get your fill and fix. read more

Easily some of the best trails in Georgia! Family friendly park with awesome mountain bike trails. Definitely worth checking out

"woohoo! As good as it gets! " Thanks Yelp, you took the words right out of my mouth! This park has something for everyone, even the little riders read more

So good. Do yourself a favor and go ride there. Such a beautiful area along the lake (South Loop is breathtaking). Trails for all skill levels. Dwelling loop (intermediate) is ridiculously fun, even for advanced riders. It doesn't hurt that people are nice and happy to be there. I only wish Georgia would sanction more great mountain biking parks like Blankets Creek. read more

I have been to many mountain bike parks, Blankets creek is the best by far. The Flow Trail also known as Quehl Holler is an excellent track with big jumps and banked turns for experts and novices followed by a ten foot wall ride. The rest of the trails were very nice and very well maintained. I would recommend this place for anyone, even for beginners. read more
