Birmingham Park — Milton

Birmingham Park is Milton's spot for trail lovers who want to get off the pavement. The park features nine natural-surface trails winding through shaded forest perfect for hiking and trail running, and you'll often share the path with horseback riders (Milton's equestrian roots run deep). The trails aren't always well-marked, so downloading a trail map beforehand is a good idea. It's a more rugged experience than the paved greenways, which is exactly the appeal. The park also has a rentable facility for events. If you're looking for that "deep in the woods" feeling without driving to the North Georgia mountains, Birmingham Park delivers.   Best for: Hikers, trail runners, horseback riders, nature seekers Parking: Free lot at 12785 Birmingham Hwy, Milton
