About This Trail

Imported description

It's possible to go through a tunnel on a rail trail from Atlanta, GA to the Alabama border. You will have spent over 120 miles on a single trip so make plans to stay in either Rockmart or Cedartown. There are a lot of reasons to visit Georgia, including crossing breath-taking trestles, photographing unique birdhouses, and visiting small-town Georgia. This trail is truly a southern charmer, and you will never forget it.
