Silver Comet Trail is roughly 68 Miles long pedestrian and biker trail extending from Smyrna, Georgia a suburb of Atlanta to the Georgia-Alabama border. It was originally a railway that was converted few decades ago to a paved trail. Hence it is relatively flat with no steep ups or downs.
I really like the silver comet trail for bike riding!! for the most part about 75% of the rider understand the rules of the trail. 2 lanes one go's out, and the other comes in. stay with in your lane and not venture into the other lane.
This trail was very nice and calming. Bike rental was reasonably priced and the bike was very comfortable to ride! I thought the trail went in a circle, but it does not!
Perhaps the most beautiful and serene biking trail I've been on. Having biked numerous trails in New York, Kentucky, and Texas, the Silver Comet ranks among the best. The trail is relatively flat and perfect for serious and casual riders. There's plenty of parking at the trail head in Smyrna.
