    Set out to walk about a mile and ended up doing three. Active area, couples, runners etc all getting their physical activity in for the day. I really liked the fact that it has paved roads or the options of going on a trail. Beautiful trails.

    Plenty of parking and trail heads. Restrooms, maps, picnic areas. Wide paved trails intermingled with off road soft trails and disk golf course. Beautiful green oasis along the Suwanee Creek with rolling hills. Follow for 5+ miles and connect to George Pierce Park trail. Lots of walkers, a few joggers and fewer riders made for a very pleasant yet challenging trail. Approach boardwalks and bridges carefully due to slippery moss. Highly recommend as the perfect nature respite. Spotted lots of squirrels, fowl and a couple of does.

    As I set off this morning to check out Suwanee Park, I was convinced this was a first-time visit for me. Not so, as I became aware as I turned into the parking area. Memories are fallible. I had been here at least twice before, years ago. Suwanee is a suburban park devoted to casual walking and runners. There are very few unpaved hiking trails. However, what there is of that is interesting and enjoyable. The map of the park suggests there is but one 'soft trail'. However, along with a web of short trails connecting the disc golf 'holes', there is at least one longer trail not shown on the map. It runs from an unmarked northern trailhead just at the border of Suwanee park, along the creek and then, eventually, meets up with the only partially mapped soft trail running between the two parking areas. I say 'eventually' because I lost the trail somewhere deep in the heart of the swamp and had to bushwack my way back to civilization, at one point crossing a small creek using a rotted, shaky fallen tree. All good fun. It's not like you can get lost in this park and it would have been easier had it not rained the previous day, making creek crossing somewhat dicey. Even the marked soft trail is incompletely shown on the map. Were it not for that experience, I would have marked Suwanee as rating only two stars. For me, there just isn't much interest in walking on wide asphalt and concrete paths. But the potential for creekside trail exploration provides an additional star. Still, if you like to run, this may be your ticket, particularly since the paved path connects to two other local parks. You can run a long way.

    Creepy in certain spots but it's dead winter at the moment. I'm sure it's very beautiful in the summer. Great photo opportunities! Pet friendly.

    So when is getting lost cool? When it's a pretty day and you're at Suwanee Creek Park. I came here expecting to have a quick 1 mile walk around noon and ended up lost on the greenway. See, Suwanee Creek park is one of a few parks connected along a really gorgeous greenway path, but i'll get to that in a bit. The thing that set Suwanee creek apart from other parks for me were the soft trails, that weren't mandatory, but definitely gave you the feeling like you were on a nice hike. The paved trails were also very clean, no trash to speak of, and surprisingly not crowded, although it was a Wednesday around 12pm. I will say the paved trail/board walks are fairly flat most of the way, but the soft trails have a few nice hills. Both trails allow plenty of space for bikers also. The creek part of the name is evident as you see the water flowing alongside you, and it's really cool to see wetlands a golf disc throw away from the trails. So pretty. Just a note on the soft paths...i'd never heard of disc golf, but you'll notice yellow disc stations and "caution: flying disc" signs scattered about, that you should heed if you're on the soft trails. Suwanee Creek Park is on the southern end of the Suwanee Creek Greenway, which stretches about 4 miles from Suwanee Creek to George Pierce. Remember that 1 mile I thought I was going to walk? I ended up 2.5 miles in before I realized the trail wasn't looping back on itself, so unless you want to walk a few miles (nothing wrong with that), bring a friend and drop one car off at the other park! Restrooms are available at both ends of the greenway, although I don't remember seeing one at the midpoint park (Martin Farm), so plan accordingly! The trail goes under, then alongside McGinnis Ferry for a bit, which can be a little worrisome if there are speeders about, but it's only for a short walk, and there's a nice wide sidewalk that separates you from the cars. All in all, I can't find much wrong with this park. Very bicycle, pet and pedestrian friendly in a clean environment, complete with Disc golf! Do stop in if you're in the area

    Good looking park with soft and hard trails. Hilly and wooded with a nice river running through it. Very peaceful. Connects to other Suwanee city parks, including the one further down the road in front of the Suwanee city hall. Excellent for runners, bikers and dog walkers.

    Great trail for dogs :)

    I would like to correct my last review and clarify that you do NOT have to cross McGinnis Ferry to continue on the greenway...

    I love coming here to walk my dog and enjoy the dog park. It's really peaceful! Great for a family…read morepicnic or even a solo picnic. I feel safe parking my vehicle and it's really great that they keep the park really clean and you don't have to worry about random trash. I appreciate it because I lived in an area before where I had to always walk my dog around trash.

    Gwinnett county has several beautiful parks, but my favorite is Lenora Park which is about a 7min…read more drive from my home. Lenora Park has plenty of beautiful green space to spread out blankets for relaxing or reading, paved walking trails, a fishing lake, community garden, softball fields, disc golf course, separate dog parks for large and small dogs, pavilion, grill, playground, restrooms and a 2 court gymnasium for basketball and pickleball. There's also a seasonal pool. I go here often just to enjoy nature and being outdoors weather permitting. I especially enjoy walking in Lenora Park during the Fall season as it's beautiful to see the many trees changing colors. Lenora park is also my go to location for early voting. Lenora Park is about to undergo some major improvements with revitalizing and expanding the gym into a community recreation center that will have a dance studio, art classroom, kitchen and will include an upper-level balcony with a two-way walking track. I'm excited and looking forward to seeing the progress while on my walks in the park.
