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.
Relaxed park with a historic home, plus a garden for veggies, picnics and educational events.
What runners say about Lost Corner Preserve
“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.
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!
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!
A beautiful place for a peaceful walk. Good way to get into nature and away from the city.
