Rockdale River Trail Details

Located just a stones throw south of Atlanta, this trail lets you explore a wide range of environments like marshy wetlands, wooded forests, rugged cliffs, and even suburban neighborhoods. Highlights along the way include the Monastery of the Holy Spirit and the Panola Mountain State Park. However, be prepared for an intense workout. The road is very hilly as it winds through Rockdale County. It might be fun to glide down the hills on the way there, but the steep peddling back up them will definitely test your endurance.
