Follow This Railroad Trail for One of the Most Unique Hikes in Georgia

If you’re from or familiar with Georgia then you likely already know about the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. For anyone unfamiliar, this nonprofit is working to create a network of trails from former rail lines, not just in Georgia, but throughout the nation. While there are hundreds of rail-trails supported nationwide, there are a few gems in Georgia that are worth checking out, especially the Woodbine Trail in Woodbine, Georgia. We absolutely love this unique stroll!

The Woodbine Riverwalk trail in Georgia is a 5.9-mile hike that is part of the Rails-to-Trail Conservancy project. It is a beautiful little railroad trail in Georgia that should be on everyone’s bucket list, and will take adventurists along the Satilla River for one epic trek. We think it’s one of the best hikes in Georgia, especially for the sights you’ll see along the way!

What usually takes guests about 2.5 hours to complete, you’ll have plenty of places to stop and snag some photo opportunities along the way. If you’re a fast walker, you may even finish it sooner. We like to relax and take our time, though.

This popular trail is used for a variety of activities, not just walking. You can also cast a line, push off and paddle the river, or even road bike. The trail runs along the old railway in Woodbine from 11th Street north all the way to the Satilla River.

The views are pretty spectacular. And because the trail is so flat, this is a great one to do with a stroller, too!

This is an out-and-back trail, so if you want to tackle the entire thing in one swoop, you’ll come back to exactly where you started. Double the chance to soak in those awesome views. With scenery like this, it's hard to be bored of this beautiful area.

The Woodbine Trail is a unique railroad trail in Georgia that you just don’t see every day! In fact, it's a Georgia hike we recommend adding to your family's outdoor bucket list this year.
