Stone Mountain Trail
The Stone Mountain Trail in Georgia is a 19-mile greenway that offers an engaging mix of urban and natural landscapes. Starting in Decatur, the trail provides an accessible route for cyclists and pedestrians to Stone Mountain Park. The path includes both side path and on-road sections, threading through varied neighborhoods and communities.
In Clarkston, the trail transitions into a greenway, crossing over I-285 and leading towards Stone Mountain Village. This section can be busy, especially on weekends, making it a family-friendly destination. The trail then continues through several blocks of busy streets to reach the park.

It's an ideal route for casual cyclists and those looking for a scenic ride, with the option to stop at local eateries like Raging Burrito in Decatur.
