Confirmed from Peachtree Creek Greenway N. Druid Hills Trailhead'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.
What runners say about Peachtree Creek Greenway N. Druid Hills Trailhead
“This trail is so clean and well maintained.”
“Peachtree Creek Greenway is a nice paved trail that has a scenic creek with running water alongside.”
“Clean, peaceful and beautiful.”
What a delightful pathway hidden inside of a busy City. The Greenway is currently under construction and being built along a natural habitat. There are several entrances and places to park. Currently located inside of the Brookhaven area, and will potentially be constructed north towards Chamblee.
Nice to escape the noise and hustle-bustle of Atlanta. Great paved 12’ wide walkways are wide enough for walking, jogging biking and dog walking. Gentle hills and nice access to parking area off North Druid Hills Road and Briarcliff Rd.
Peachtree Creek Greenway is a nice paved trail that has a scenic creek with running water alongside. It is currently 1.3 mile from one end to the other. Several beautiful life sized public sculptures were recently set up along the elevated section of the trail.
A really nice and fun place, the birds chirping, water flows, people walking dogs, biking, skateboarding, or just rest. There are hammocks, swings, slides, sculpture arts. Fun to walk or bike!
