Trail Description: This is a good trail to run if you live in the area and want to get off the streets.

If you want to make this run a bit more difficult start at the bridge on Johnson Rd. and park just past the Pitch and Putt liquor store across the street from the park. Find the trail head on the South side of the bridge and follow it until you hit the creek. Run the creek, running from sandbar to sandbar until you see a trail head on your right with a tire swing hanging down. Take this main trail until you see a bridge on the right. Cross the bridge, take a right on Pasadena Ave. then right on Johnson Rd. back to your start point for a full loop. Great run if you want an in town Atlanta trail to run!

Review: This is more walking trails. If you live close its good for a mile or two. Try to incorporate it into part of a long run on the road as well.
