I'm always on the hunt for a new bike trail, so I decided to head to Big Creek Park in Roswell. If…read moreyou have any favorite trails, let me know in the comments! I entered at Old Alabama Road parked at Big Creek Park and followed the signs. The trail is well-maintained, clean, and wide enough for cyclists, walkers, and runners to comfortably share the path - in most areas. One of my favorite things about this trail is that much of it is shaded, making for a really enjoyable ride. The park has massave MTB & hiking trails as well. Plus restrooms and pleanty of free parking. The trail system is larger than I expected. There are several connecting paths that was listed as color coded according to the level. I found myself taking a different route than I planned and accidentally made a few complete loops before realizing I had connected to another trail! I completed around 23 miles - easy ride. I'd consider this a great beginner-friendly trail. Most of the ride is relatively flat with only one or two moderate inclines that got me a lil winded. Otherwise, it's an easy, low-impact ride that's perfect for enjoying the scenery. Since the trail winds through neighborhoods, I saw a nice mix of families, casual riders, walkers, runners. Everyone seemed to have plenty of room to enjoy the trail. This is definitely a trail I'll be riding again. A great place for riders of all skill levels. If you're looking for a scenic, peaceful ride that's easy to access and enjoyable for the whole family, Big Creek Greenway is absolutely worth checking out.

Although it was pretty crowded on a Monday evening, the walk was very peaceful among trees with lots of shade. Great for walking your dogs, biking, jogging or simply a quiet evening walk. The creek that crosses the trail offers a refreshing break in between walks. With all the below-mentioned amenities, this is one of the best trailheads that I've been to so far in Georgia. Amenities offered: Wheelchair accessible parking & restrooms, vending machine, picnic benches, drinking water fountain, pet waste stations, park benches, free parking lot

I will say the group I went with got slightly lost a few times though they have experience hiking so not sure how clear the signs and directions are due to that. However the trail feels safe and accessible. The people there are very friendly with many greeting us along our way. The waterfall we got to was absolutely beautiful. It's kind of amazing that we even have a real waterfall so close to the city of Atlanta. Parking was kind of limited but we were able to make it work. So overall I have no complaints and enjoyed my time here.

I definitely will come back very often during summer. I'm glad that we have such a nice trail in the neighborhood.

It is well maintained, mostly shaded for hot days, and an easy course. Parking can require some patience during weekend mornings. It is heavily trafficked on the weekends. The people here are really nice and supportive. Plenty of cyclists but they are mindful of pedestrians. Just make sure to always look back before you pass another runner/walker, at a junction, or towards a bridge. The workers are courteous and friendly. Others seem to really like this place as well since I've been seeing the same people for years. It's probably a good place to make friends, if that's what you're looking for. The only reason I took a star off is because there appears to only be one place to get water- at Big Creek Park in Roswell. Before covid, you could also use the water fountains at Rock Mill Park, but they have since then been shut down. They should really restore water there- very helpful for runners/cyclists.

The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area provides some of the best parks and hiking…read moreavailable to Atlanta. While the Medlock Bridge unit is not very big and doesn't offer the amenities of some, it's still cool. And it's more than just a boat launch point, although admittedly not much more. Located just south of the river on Medlock Bridge Road (might be called Peachtree Parkway at this point), there's a short access road to the very large parking lot. It also has spaces for five or six boat trailers. You'll find several picnic tables on the grounds, with at least three located between the parking lot and the river. Other than that, you have maybe two miles of trails. As with all Chattahoochee River NRA units, the trails are pretty well marked on the map and you'll find a map located at each trail intersection. Not that you can get lost. The main trail that runs along the river is quite scenic and is an easy walk along a flat dirt path. The shorter trails up the hill take you into typical Georgia riverside forest terrain. You can easily walk the whole trail system in an hour. Besides having few trail miles, the biggest drawback to the Medlock Bridge unit is the city noises you'll hear. With Medlock Bridge Rd (Peachtree Pkwy) just 500 feet away at most, I heard a lot of traffic noise as well as construction activity from the neighborhoods. That is, of course, something you deal with in a suburban or city park but it was quite prominent here.

Dunwood Trailway is a nice, wide, well maintained, smooth concrete pathway which is perfect for…read morerunners, walkers, bicycle riders, dog walkers, strollers and skaters. All changes in elevation are gradual. According to Google Maps, one end of Dunwoody Trailway is near where Chamblee Dunwoody Rd meets Kent Ave in Dunwoody, at Georgetown Park, continues through Park at Pernoshal Court and loops around Brook Run Park. I didn't walk all of this; I started my walk with my dog, Suki, at the parking lot at Park at Pernoshal Court and continued through Brook Run Park and then back, and that walk was a little over 3 miles. We took our time, since Suki wanted to meet other dogs along the way and had to sniff all the new smells the entire way. If you go between Georgetown Park and Park at Pernoshal Court, you'll have to contend with vehicular traffic, but the rest of the Trailway loop allows you to mostly avoid heavy street traffic. Along the Dunwoody Trailway, you'll be able to walk through three different parks, cross over new bridges, and pass through wooded areas. For the most part, the Trailway isn't shaded, so, if it's 75 degrees or warmer you'll probably want to wear sunscreen and bring a bottle of water to sip on. There aren't any restrooms along the pathway between Park at Pernoshal Court and Brook Run Park, so plan accordingly. The only wild critters I saw during our walk were squirrels and birds, but I'm sure there are a whole lot more than those. There are a few benches to sit on along the Trailway, and also stations that provide dog poop bags and trash cans so you can clean up after your dog and throw it away. This is a great looping pathway if you want to avoid vehicular traffic and just enjoy being outside!
