The path goes around the park and is .9 miles. There is plenty of parking. There are several baseball diamonds, a soccer field and a playground. It is usually pretty clean. However, it seams that quite a few people don't like picking up after their pet. My only criticism would be that the park would benefit from a few garbage cans right by the path so people will pick up after their pets.

Outside, there's a beautiful creek where you can splash, explore, and even catch crawfish -- which we did a lot of! You can also feed rainbow trout in the nearby stream, which the kids loved. One of the most unique and special things about this place is the fresh spring water. Locals and visitors line up to fill gallons of it because it's clean, natural, and totally drinkable right from the source. Of course we tried it -- and it really is some of the best-tasting water we've had! This place is a hidden gem and we'll definitely be back!

I wanted to go back to hiking paths and climbing mountains, like i used to do when I lived in the Adirondack Mountains. Getting here was a bit of a challenge. The GPS was a little off, but following the car in front t of me helps a lot. They looked like a bunch of hikers due to the stickers all over their car... Arrival to the parking lot was all gravel. The trailhead had some signage which was incredibly helpful. I took several pictures of the map and the direction I wanted to go. Seeing on a map and reality are two different things. At least I had some marker points to refer and go by. Down over the bridge you are met with a steady uphill climb some switchbacks and some rocky terrains to go over. The first Awesome fixture was the Fatman Squeeze. A hulking boulder with some tight side paths to go up on both sides end up at the same place. Then venturing on to the gravel path which takes you to the cell towers. Once past that the. Looking for the sign that leads you to the overlook. There it was. Beautiful over look to the mountains in the area.since we were facing the south the real mountains could not be seen. Couple of things to share, need to remind people that the canopy can be stuffy and humid. Be prepared to sweat, a LOT. Isn't that why you came? To overcome this mountain challenge??! Bring water. If your dog is strong enough to climb, other than that this can be challenging for their paws and your back, if you have to carry. Make sure your shoes are tied on tight. There are a lot of roots and loose rocks that can make a day go bad if you are not paying attention. Tightly tied shoes will alleviate the shift in the ground. Most importantly. Take your time, pause, reflect. Love, appreciate. Sweat. Have a good time...

When a friend asked if I wanted to do some hiking at pine mountain, I said sure! I made my way…read morethere and after 20 minutes of looking I thought to myself, this place is big! It also didn't help that my friend was waiting at the west loop trail and I was near Allatoona dam. After getting myself situated, parking at the lot located off of komatsu drive se (access komatsu via E. Main Street right off of 75), we made our way up the west loop trail to get to the David G. Archer overlook. Don't get me wrong, there are miles of trails here at pine mountain, but from the parking lot to the overlook is just under 2 miles. It breaks down from the parking lot as follows (taken from the pine mountain Rec area trail system map): West trail head/parking to west loop - 0.18 mi West loop to summit overlook- 1.57 mi Summit overlook to David G. Archer summit - 0.16 mi The view at the top gives you a beautiful look at expansive greenery, with Allatoona lake visible (although more visible in the fall). During clear days you're able to see Atlanta and its skyline in the distance (keep in mind Atlanta is easily less than 50 miles away. From here, we turned around and went back to our cars, although if you want, you can continue on past the summit and hike down to the East trail. Trails are marked very well with blazes so you have to try to get lost (see photos for blaze colors). There's forest, outcrops, easy and huff/puff portions of the trails, but I don't think it's a hard hike by any means. Pet friendly hike that leads to a great view with as much trail as you're interested in challenging. Do yourself a favor and give pine mountain (not to be confused with pine mountain near Columbus, GA) a chance! I know I'll be back!

I have been coming to this trail for several years with my dogs. It's such a great hiking trail…read more(more of an easy stroll). The trail begins on Cassville Road across from the police station, nowhere to really park so you'll have to either park right off the road or park nearby. The trail is approximately 1.5 miles though the sign up front says 1.1 miles, haven't actually done an exact measurement. The trail follows along the Pettit Creek and is all paved. It begins open and about 300 yards in it dips into the woods and meanders through the woods, across a cool wooden bridge, and finally ends at Mission Rd (for now, apparently they are going to extend it another mile or so). It's such a peaceful and quiet trail to walk on and you can walk down to the creek with your dog. Currently the bridge is "closed for repairs" but I'm not sure why (this is as of Thanksgiving day 2025). Unsure of when they'll open it back up but you still have plenty of trail to walk on. Could definitely use some parking area but a great place to walk and ride your bike.

The only downside is there's a lot of groups of teens that come so you may have to wait during certain times they have bowling. They have a restaurant there's a hotel not too far from this location. That is an amazing restaurant as well. It's just a great place to go hang out they even have a really tall climbing wall. The staff is young. They are helpful, but there will be times where you may not immediately get helped because they're engaging conversations with each other, but it's to be expected with young staff.
