Big Creek Greenway — Alpharetta / Roswell

The Big Creek Greenway is the go-to paved trail in North Atlanta. This 12-foot-wide multi-use path runs about 8.5 miles from Big Creek Park in Roswell up to Marconi Drive in Alpharetta, winding along the creek through shaded wetlands and boardwalk sections. It's perfect for biking, jogging, walking the dog, or pushing a stroller. Keep an eye out for herons, wild turkeys, and deer along the way. Restrooms are available at Rock Mill Park and the YMCA access points. Multiple parking lots along the route make it easy to pick your distance. Note: the boardwalk sections in Roswell can get slippery when wet, so watch your footing. Best for: Bikers, joggers, families with strollers, dog walkers Parking: Multiple free lots Big Creek Park (south), Rock Mill Park, YMCA, Webb Bridge
