Confirmed from Proctor Creek Greenway - North End'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.
Hiking area featuring a scenic trail with sitting spots that connects West Highlands to Westside Park.

Lovely wooded trail right next to the creek! Nice neighborhood parking ends at the Westside reservoir park which is also beautiful!
Love love love what this trail has become and the creek is finally clean! Awesome quiet trail through the woods accessible behind the Bankhead Marta station by bike, walking, scooter, etc.
Such a nice and peaceful walk. The path is 100% concrete from start to finish. There is some street parking at the north end but none on the south, that I know of.
I rode my bike down this path, it was about 2.3 miles. Right when i got into my bikers zone the path ended -but they are expanding it in time. I’ll definitely go back but will have a guard over my mouth, the bugs can be heavy at times as you ride.
