Walked starting at the concord rd entrance/parking and walked towards Smyrna ga. Will remember this for future trips since we are big Braves baseball fans. Just watch out for bicyclists.Full review by ktlpigg

This is a Hall of fame trail! The trail is one of the safest trails I have been on. When we traveled it we saw trail cameras , they have police running around in little cars , they also have a unit …Full review by Quantrell6195

My wife and I split the ride up over 2 days. We did 2 out and back rides. We opted out of the last couple of miles, closest to Smyrna. Day 1 was an out and back ride from The Esom Road trailhead t…Full review by iowacityia
We would like to ride the entire trail, but only 20-25 miles per day. Are there inns or motels along the trail we can stop and spend the night?

We stayed at the Carter Farmhouse in Hightower Falls (between Rockmart and Cedartown) for 2 nights during our ride. It's 7 miles off the Comet Trail, which took us through some beautiful rural communities. It's an ideal location to stay if you want to do three days of 40-mile rides: Smyrna-Carter Farm; Farm to GA-AL border and back; Farm-Smyrna.
I would like to bring a small group and do a two day ride from Smyrna to Anniston, 1. Is there a place in Smyrna we can park our cars overnight? 2. Is there a shuttle that can pick us up in Anniston and bring us and our bikes back to Smyrna on the second day of our ride? Thanks
A:
Honestly, I never read the sign about overnight parking. As far as the shuttle goes, unfortunately, I do not have that answer either. I tend to ride certain miles each way. However, if I …
Honestly, I never read the sign about overnight parking. As far as the shuttle goes, unfortunately, I do not have that answer either. I tend to ride certain miles each way. However, if I am over there today, I will write back for an update.
Depending on the temps outside, if it is at freezing it may be slippery due to wetness freezing over and shaded areas not drying by sunlight. Otherwise it is very pleasant and worth …
Depending on the temps outside, if it is at freezing it may be slippery due to wetness freezing over and shaded areas not drying by sunlight. Otherwise it is very pleasant and worth checking out, in my opinion!
I'm trying to find a way to the get me and my bike to the Silver Comet Trail entrance in Smyrna. As I understand it, I cannot leave my car in a trail parking lot overnight. Is there a local parking lot where I can leave my car overnight? Or is there another way to transport me and my bike to the trail entrance without my car (Uber doesn't seem to have enough cars in their Uber Pedal program to provide an always-available service)?
A:
There is a Silver Comet connector trail along sidewalks - we stayed at Fairfield Inn Smyrna, arranged to leave car there and rode about 4 miles to trail head.
What is the address for the entrance to the 0.00 mile marker in Smyrna, I think its right off of S Cobb Drive but I cant find the exact address to get there.
A:
It's at the Mavel Road Trailhead. Google doesn't have a street address, but this works on Google Maps: Mavell Road Trailhead, and it shows the address as Mavell Rd, …
It's at the Mavel Road Trailhead. Google doesn't have a street address, but this works on Google Maps: Mavell Road Trailhead, and it shows the address as Mavell Rd, Smyrna, GA 30082 You can find a write up on Mile 0 to Mile 20 on my blog site, in the Georgia Small Plates section. The blog link is in my profile, since Trip Advisor doesn't allow html references in reaponses.
