Confirmed from Lost Corner 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.

“A Beautiful place to rest, retreat, nice trail👣 up, there just beware as there are giant spiders like orb weaver inside the route”

Lost Corner Preserve is a small park in Sandy Springs, GA. It was the home and surrounding property of the Miles family, but Peggy Miles last owner deeded it to the city only few years ago. It is small beautiful park with few short easy trails looping in the property. There is a small creek that flows through the land.

★★★★☆ — Talal , Mar 2021

Wonderful treasure in north springs. Great for walking to clear your head or take the dog for a walk. They also have a little community garden that looks promising. Must visit for any local!

★★★★★ — Dana , May 2019

A nice little corner of woods, preserved nicely with a community garden and a small creek. Leashed Dog walkers are welcomed. Small benches along the path, carved from trees were just the greatest!

★★★★★ — Tee , Feb 2024

A beautiful place for a peaceful walk. Good way to get into nature and away from the city.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

Plan your run at Lost Corner Preserve

The practical stuff

  • AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
  • SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
