Confirmed from Charles H Jones Gateway Park'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.
Compact green space along the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail offering paved paths & fishing on the river.
What runners say about Charles H Jones Gateway Park
Too bad they are moving the Otis Redding statue but I guess it will be good where he ends up and when the trail is finished it will be a great walk,run or bike ride nice scenery when it's done
This is a nice place by the River..peaceful and scenic when traffic slows.
