Big Creek Greenway in North Fulton

Join us for a Sunday bike ride on the Alpharetta Big Creek Greenway.  We will start at the parking lot off of North Point Pkwy.  From there we head north to the end of the trail at Marconi Blvd.  After a short break we head back south to the starting point.

Along the way the trail is relatively flat making the ride easy and enjoyable.  The concrete path winds along Big Creek and is a green strip of the outdoors in the city.  The pace will be about 10 mph as we wind our way along the heavily wooded trail.  There are a couple of restroom/water fountain locations along the way if needed.

Road bikes, hybrids, mountain bikes and comfort bikes are all suitable for this trail.  All are expected to have their bike in good enough shape for the ride; and a helmet is required.
