It's in the Chatahoochee National Park area. It is a 5K path on dirt/gravel/pine straw (depending on the season). It is a great place to train, but it costs $3 to park or you can purchase an annual pass for about $25. Check it out. Another great trail is in Cobb County, just off Powers Ferry Rd.

Most of these trails biking locations will not be paved, but many are flat and even young children can manage to navigate them. Time to start getting ready for spring mountain trails biking http://www.clubmtb.com/blog/ Great article! we have a vast database of trails and riders that frequent those trails.

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:32:54 +0000 http://www.venere.com/blog/atlanta-running-trails/#comment-1719 Sorry for necroposting. Just wanted to add to the Stone Mountain post and comment: There is also a 5-ish mile dirt trail (Cherokee Trail) around the base that weaves in and out of the lakes, crossing the paved path and the railroad tracks in a few places. It can get pretty technical, not a smooth garden path all the way around. Hydration can be found at a few locations around the perimeter, if you know where to look. The pathside water fountains rarely work, but there are toilet facilities with fountains at the base of the walk-up trail (Mile 0), at the playground (Mile 1.5), and probably at the Grist Mill (Mile 3) although I don't know where exactly. These locations are also roughly where the Cherokee Trail crosses the paved path. Sorry for necroposting.

I would like to find a safe paved or dirt trail that loops around. I'm looking for a loop that has water stations or fountains and is between 3 to 7 miles in length. I want to avoid traffic areas and I'm looking for a scenic, peaceful place. There was a great place like this in Temple Terrace, Florida, where I used to live. I havn't found a place like this yet here in Georgia and I miss it. Today I'm going to run around stone mountain like you suggested, but I am concerned about staying hydrated. I don't really like running around vehicles either. I guess I will stash some water bottles along the route. I'm not excited about running around the same quarter mile loop at a local park any more. Again Thanks, Derry Hey Tom,
