Silver Comet Trail

The Silver Comet Trail is located in Smyrna, Georgia about 13 miles from Atlanta. It is a free trail that takes guests west through Cobb, Paulding and Polk counties. It is a quiet walkway that does not allow motorized vehicles like ATVs. It is possible to use the trail on bike, rollerblades, or horses. There is also a paved pathway for wheelchair accessibility.

The Silver Comet Trail is more than 61 miles in length starting at Mavell Road in Smyrna, Georgia. It ends at the Alabama state line close to Cedartown and Esom. At the state line the trail meets with the 33 mile long Chief Ladiga Trail. There are plans to add seven more miles to the Chief Ladiga trail. Both trails are completely paved. Chief Ladiga trail runs on old railroad lines. With the combination of both the trails there are more than 100 paved miles from Smyrna, Georgia to Anniston, Alabama for hikers and other recreational goers.

The trails are seen to by the state of Georgia and Alabama. The states ask that the trails are respected in that the grass, trees and animals should be left undisturbed. They also ask that trash is not left behind.
