Confirmed from Ashford Forest Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Wooded park with trails for hiking and dog-walking.
What runners say about Ashford Forest Preserve
“Easy to follow trails in an undeveloped area in between Dekalb Peachtree Airport and the surrounding neighborhoods.”
“The wooded trails are so peaceful and fresh in the morning.”
“Great place to enjoy nature or take your dog for a walk.”
Healthy forest in the middle of residential area. We enjoyed the walking there, it’s not big, but good variety of vegetation. Very natural, seems not much human interference. Nice place to visit.
The wooded trails are so peaceful and fresh in the morning. Such a great addition to the neighborhood! It's a favorite walk for me and my dog. There are three entry points but only the one on Clairmont road has parking. The other two are pedestrian access points from neighborhoods.
Interesting spot almost hidden and frequently used by great humans and their dogs with nice trails and respectful visitors. Dog bags in place please use
Nice little nature area. Not huge, but a decent trail that goes around and only walking, no bikes allowed. Good if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t travel out of the way to visit.
