PATH400 Buckhead

Friday, October 16, 2015

I love finding new trails to explore especially in town. Although not altogether brand new, the PATH 400 trail in Buckhead is pretty cool. It follows GA 400 from Lenox Rd. north to Old Ivy Rd. The first section of the trail is fully complete with benches, landscaping and some art installations. Construction has begun on phase two which runs from Old Ivy to Wieuca Rd. There is no concrete poured as of yet but clearing of the trail has begun.  There are also two other phases planned Sidney Marcus to Miami Circle and Adina to Piedmont Road on Garson.  When fully completed the trail will run approximately 5.2 miles and eventually connect into the Atlanta Beltline!
