Confirmed from Vickery Creek'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.
Forested area featuring a network of trails beside a scenic creek with a waterfall & covered bridge.
What runners say about Vickery Creek
“It is always extremely clean and well maintained with beautiful views in every season.”
“Beautiful place that feels just like walking through a fairytale forest out of your favorite childhood stories.”
“Mostly shadded and well marked.”
Another hidden treasure like place in the city to trek and hike. It’s a network of trails,well managed with the maps and sign board. I found this place extremely peaceful,relaxing and beautiful. this place is dense,lush green grass surrounded the mountain and some wild flowers which looks gorgeous under the sunlight.
Simple park with plenty of trail space. The waterfall is pretty and there are some interesting facts about the mill all around. Good place to explore!
Mostly shadded and well marked. Part of the trail on the backside of the park was blocked due to down trees. Very crowded. Please wear masks on paths, due to narrow areas. Protect yourself and other patrons while enjoying the beauty in this park.
Fun little hike. The waterfall is the main attraction and can get pretty crowded. Parking is not that great. You will need to park at the spot at 575 Riverside Dr. for extra parking
Trail conditions & character
“Beautiful place that feels just like walking through a fairytale forest out of your favorite childhood stories.”
“Parking was scarce, but great spot to see waterfall, with paved paths, benches and bathrooms.”
“Great trail system with a good number of inclines/declines that made for a great beginner level hike (that made my legs burn by the end) close to Atlanta”
“If your objective is a moderate difficulty hike, you can park along Oxbo and follow the trails (pay attention to the numbered "you are here" markers).”
