Tennessee River Greenway

very scenic, light traffic

October, 2024 by bbraden

only thing keeping it from 5* is length. Parallels river 90%, light traffic. Surface is nothing fancy but in good condition.

Aldridge Creek Greenway

wide trail isolated from car traffic

October, 2024 by bbraden

well maintained trail, wide enough to accommodate walkers, skaters, cyclists, etc. with minimal, if any, inconvenience. No cross streets, though bridge interchanges require slowing down. Some narrow & blind spots, esp around RR underpass. Heat was not an issue, but probably more sun than shade overall, though not extreme. Light traffic on a midday Friday.
Aldridge Creek runs straight and shallow, not terribly scenic; extent of wildlife observed were a few aquatic fowl

Richard Martin Trail

Nice trail

Chief Ladiga Trail

my Go To!

October, 2024 by reeboksyl

My default ride is from the Eubanks Welcome Center In Piedmont to over into GA and back. It’s such an awesome trail and is always a joy to ride there. Well maintained and beautiful!

Chief Ladiga Trail

chief Ladiga

October, 2024 by amy2paul

Yesterday 10-10-24 we rode the trail. We parked near Jacksonville State Campus and rode the the trailhead to the Silver Comet start. Beautiful trail with great scenery. Only complaint was the asphalt needed some work. Some parts were marked when it was rough (although they’ve could stand to remark them) but lots of places weren’t marked so be careful and watch the road. We stopped in Piedmont for lunch at Elevated Grounds Coffee Shop. Paul had chicken salad sandwich and I had BLT. Both delicious ! The owner even greeted us when we arrived.

Yoholo Micco, The Creek Indian Trail

This is actually only about 4 miles round trip. Very pretty and a nice leg stretcher.

Sunset Drive Trail

Well Maintained

August, 2024 by w597ytgvpy

A very nice, well maintained trail with ample bathroom facilities, trash and recycle receptacles. Well paved double-lane path out and back. Beautiful views of Lake Guntersville and neighboring communities. Plenty of picnic tables and benches and water filling stations. If they could bridge busy Hwy 69 which you cross it might be perfect.

Chief Ladiga Trail

Nice, Mostly Flat Ride

July, 2024 by anthony.johns.6

Went about 7 miles into Alabama from the Georgia line on our ride. It was a good, fairly smooth and flat ride. Compared to the Georgia side of the ride, however, there was a bit less shade and the path was significantly more narrow. It was hardly problematic in general, but it did have a larger impact when people were riding in pairs or passing relative to the wider Silver Comet portion.

BMRR North Trail

nice, interesting, but short

July, 2024 by bbraden

BMMR North is a pleasant trail with adequate shade, some stunning vistas of Jones Valley & beyond (imgine there would be more to see in dormant foliage). Intersting relics of mining operations. Trail appears to be true rail trail for about 1.25 miles, though trail length is list at 2.0. There is no asphalt beyond parking lot; embedded rail ties still visible in most areas. Once reaching X with Redding Trail at some an impressive structure, the trail narrows and trends toward rougher surfaced until sweeping uphill on a grassy swale to connect with BMMR South.
Connectors between the trails are more difficult than typical railtrail; Wenonah Connector is great, until surface goes rustic to jump the ridge. Both better as out & back, from Venice Rd. Better yet, park off Bessemer Super Highway in Midfield & ride the High Ore Trail; carefully cross a marked crossing at moderately busy 2 lane, and do the BMMR North & Wenonah, then back to Midfield for about a 11 mile O/B.
parked at Frankfurt Circle, road part of BMRR South, connected to BMMR North , rode to Venice Ave, reversed, took Wenonah Connector back to BMMR South for return to Frankfurt. Would not recommend the connectors i used on any bike.

Chattahoochee Valley Railroad Trail

Lacks Signs - But Nice Otherwise - Here's where to Park

July, 2024 by dscottgriffin

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.

Shawmut (North End)
3506 22nd Avenue
Valley, AL 36854

North Central (Old Langdale Mill)
3506 19th Avenue
Valley, AL 36854

Old Train Station
103 River Rd
Valley, AL 36854

South Central (Middle of a neighborhood)
3136 Columbus Rd
Valley, AL 36854

South End (My Favorite)
Behind First Christian Church of Riverview (on Myhand St.)
1465 California Rd
Valley, AL 36854

Most Southern End - Old Riverview School
7755 School St
Valley, AL 36854

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.

Five Mile Creek Greenway

well maintained trail

June, 2024 by bbraden

nothing extraordinarily scenic, but mostly forested trail. Outside of a few housing developments, the overall landscape likely hasn't changed much since the last trains ran this route, especially on the north end (terminus at Newfound Creek ravine. I found the trail a well-maintained path, although it is crushed stone, and may not be suitable for all bikes or riders. There was evidence of recent treefalls being cleared, and no noticeable trash on trail (benches & trash receptacles are scattered at random intervals). Trail is mostly shaded, although there are enough clea spots to feel the sun.
Traffic was considerably thin once clear of Black Creek Park, with only 2 joggers between I65 and Shady Grove Road; one lone cyclist who trailheaded on Powder Mill Road; on the way back a few more cyclists between the Shady Grove Road & Black Creek Park.

Five Mile Creek Greenway

Gorgeous and Shady Trail

June, 2024 by amber.leclaire412

We ride our etrikes here a couple of days a month. It’s so beautiful and the shaded trails make every the hottest days (today was in the 90’s) bearable. Don’t miss this wonderful hidden gem just north of Birmingham.
