Great Places to Ride With Kids

We're starting small on this section. In the fall of 2006 we will focus on updating this page so it provides good resources for places to ride with children. Make sure you visit our Riding Tips section as it provides lots of tips on making your outings successful - and fun! The local PATH organization has created many trails in the Atlanta area; the most "famous" is the Silver Comet Trail that runs from Smyrna to the Alabama border. It is laid out along an abandoned railroad line and is one of the nicest trails in the Southeast, if not the nation!

PATH has also created the Stone Mountain Trail, Arabia Mountain Trail, Chastain Trail, and others. However, not all of these trails are off-road. Yet there are some great sections that are off-road and they make fine nearby places to go for a family outing or a picnic. Your best bet is to stop by Bicycle South and purchase one of PATH's great trail map booklets ($5.00). The contain all the information you need about distances, refreshments, places to park, etc. Visit PATH for more details.
