Hikers in Georgia have no shortage of options for long, difficult treks through the mountains. After all, we’re home to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. However, not everyone is always up for a long journey like that. We’re not all in the best of shape, and sometimes we might be out hiking with kids or loved ones with mobility issues that can make rocky scrambles difficult, dangerous, or even impossible. In situations like these, it’s great to explore paved paths within cities, which are typically wheelchair and stroller-accessible and are great trails for a simple stroll. One of our favorites is the Big Creek Greenway Trail in Alpharetta, GA. Check it out:

This is an amazing trail to explore at any time of year.

You don't have to explore the entire trail at once, and many hikers choose to walk (or bike) down just a short portion then turn back around.

This may be a trail in an urban environment, but you'll see plenty of wildlife. Birds, turtles, and frogs all like to hang out near the water along the path.

If you prefer to avoid hills and more elevation gains, avoid the north end of the trail - the southern end tends to be a lot more forgiving.
