Path


PATH is a foundation in Atlanta, Georgia that has spent 20 years building off road trails for walkers, cyclists, runners, and skaters. The trails are a system of scenic pathways with green lawns and forests. The trails are Silver Comet, Arabia Mountain, and Atlanta Dekalb System.

Silver Comet is a bike path with a 500 foot trestle bridge over the river. There are also rock cliffs and pines. Arabia Mountain offers rock outcroppings as large as football fields. There are also streams, waterfalls, and acres of farms along this path.

Chastain Park is a three mile trail and one of the more popular trails. Surveys show about 250 joggers, walkers, rollerbladers, and cyclists use the trail every hour. Nancy Creek connects to Murphy Candler Park and Blackburn Park near Johnson Ferry Estates in the northern section of DeKalb County. Stone Mountain is a 19 mile trail that goes from Martin Luther King Center to Stone Mountain Park. Fifteen miles of the trail are greenway trails with four miles of road meaning it is unpaved for the majority of it. Whestone Creek is also part of PATH that was built on abandoned railroad and boardwalk above the floodplain. It is in the northwest area of Atlanta.
