Nice Trail,Found Parking near Church,Smooth Enough for Skates, Could Use Some Maintenance.
Today April 11, 2025, we rode this beautiful trail. It is well maintained with asphalt in great condition, lots of mile marker signs which even have the kilometers and elevation on them, lots of benches to sit and relax on and a mix of open sunny spots and tree shaded spots. We stopped at the Callaway Country Store for lunch. There is a nice paved path to take you from the trail up to the store. On the way back we stopped at Hamilton Ice Cream Company for some chocolate ice cream.
The trail itself was nice, but a couple of the parking lots were overgrown. We did not feel safe in the area.
Be prepared for walkers, sidewalks, hills and traffic ¿
Absolutely beautiful path, well maintained, clean, regularly spaced trash cans and places to stop and sit. It does climb in elevation but the path is well leveled so the ride is comfy the whole time. I will be riding this particular trail again!
Very nice ride. The trail is about 13 miles long. Nicely paved and not crowded. We started from the pine mountain visitor's center, which had nice bathrooms. There is plenty of parking on a weekday and good restaurants at the end of the ride.
This is actually only about 4 miles round trip. Very pretty and a nice leg stretcher.
We have ridden it several times. Nice scenery. Well kept.
Actually a nice trail in a has been mill town.
The trails do have a couple of switch backs at the south end, but these are easily identifiable. As others mentioned, the four lane crossing is the most confusing area near the old Langdale Mill. Just look well across Highway 29 to see where the trail picks up again.
There are actually 6 parking areas along the trail.

The trail is nicely paved and lightly used. Unfortunately, the historical signs have fallen into disrepair. The trail could use paint on the ground if nothing else to give directions where confusion may exist.
Note - watch out for the missing barrier plates on the ground at road crossings that may puncture your tire if you are not careful.
Nice local ride overall.
Spent the day exploring the well maintained and apparently freshly paved trail! Awesome experience riding and exploring the small towns there. Stop in the Harris County Chamber of Commerce for a mid-trip snack. Great folks there. Get some ice cream at the Hamilton Ice Cream Company. Was a really good day.
Wonderful trail. Steady incline to Pine Mountain. Plenty of restroom spots. Gorgeous scenery. Highly recommend this well paved trail for all bikes and all levels. About 33 miles round trip. Shorten as needed. Seems like an extra 4.5 miles will be added in a few years. Not very shaded in some parts, but we road this in spring, so maybe the trees will cover more area. A few road crossings that are very well marked, and one larger intersection. Free parking in Pine Mountain.
