How to Get There:
Event Directions:

The Floyd Road Trailhead is at mile marker 4.2 on the Silver Comet Trail.

From I-285:

Take I-285 to Exit 15, South Cobb Drive.

SOUTH COBB DRIVE is Hwy 280/Smyrna.

When you approach South Cobb Drive, HEAD OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER, away from the large smoke stack that's being torn down and toward the Cobb Civic Center, Chattahoochee Tech, and SR 280-North.

Go approximately 1.4 MILES, or 4 stop lights, to the large intersection of SOUTH COBB DRIVE, the EAST-WEST CONNECTOR, and CUMBERLAND PARKWAY.

TURN LEFT onto the East-West Connector.

Go approximately 5.5 MILES to the stop light at FLOYD ROAD (you'll pass under 3 bridges; Floyd Road is the 4th light past the 3rd bridge).

TURN RIGHT onto Floyd Road (toward the WalMart shopping center).

Go approximately 0.7 miles and you'll cross the Silver Comet Trail (there is a stop light here).

Once you pass through the stop light at the SILVER COMET TRAIL, you'll see the Floyd Road Trailhead parking, Silver Comet Depot, and a convenience store immediately on your right.

We'll include an approximate meeting place in the reminder email.
