Silver Comet
The Silver Comet Trail, tracing the historic Seaboard Air Line, offers a scenic and historic ride from Smyrna to Esom Hill over a 61.5-mile stretch. It's a paved, 12-foot wide path, featuring historical structures like the Pumpkinvine Creek Trestle and the Brushy Mountain Tunnel. While the trailhead near the Smyrna shopping complex is convenient, it can get crowded. A better starting point might be the Mavell Road Trailhead in Smyrna, located near the Publix shopping center on South Cobb Drive, offering easier access and parking. This trail connects to Alabama's Chief Ladiga Trail and has future plans to link with the Atlanta Beltline.
