Silver Comet Trail

Saturday, April 12, 2014

To finish my day on Saturday I headed over to Mableton to check out the Silver Comet Trail. The 61.5 mile trail starts in Smyrna and travels west through Cobb, Paulding and Polk counties to the Georgia/Alabama state line near Cedartown. I didn’t make it all the way (even though I think that would make for a great day of biking). Instead I hung around the Mableton area and captured people biking, running and walking their dogs. If you want to check out some of the other trails that make their way around the Atlanta and metro areas you can click here to see some of the Atlanta Beltline Trail or click here to see some of the Big Creek Greenway.
