Confirmed from Oxbo Trail'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.
Family-friendly trail featuring a waterfall and a covered bridge.
What runners say about Oxbo Trail
“The waterfall was beautiful and we took our shoes off and walked in the water which was cool and refreshing.”
“It is well maintained, mostly shaded and moderately challenging because of elevation changes.”
“The trail is well marked and there are multiple options to make the trail shorter or longer.”
“Easy trail, nice river to cool down in.”
This was such a cute trail with a lot of hiking opportunities in the greater ATL area. It is part of a self-guided history tour through Roswell and I will definitely head back to explore more of the trails. There was a wedding at the Mill tonight, but excited to go back!
Another AWESOME trail in the ATL! Excellent views and very serene! Be sure to bring a painted rock to add to the rock snake!
I enjoyed my short visit to this trail. The sound of the water is very relaxing and the swinging benches make it that much more relaxing. The hike trails are rural but clearly marked. The views of the river and bridge are lovely the higher up the trail you go. I like that there is plenty of seating along the way.
I love this trail, very nice spot to relax and take a nice walk amongst nature. The waterfall was beautiful and we took our shoes off and walked in the water which was cool and refreshing. The trail is partially shaded which blocked off a lot of the heat. There were also some bench swings which were nice to relax in.
