Itinerary:

No one seems to know its there, right around the Northpoint Mall, but there's actually more than 6 miles of trails, sweet and cool and green waiting to be explored, called the Greenway. Partly paved and part woodchip, it's a very level trail, so poles probably would be more decorative than helpful. Let's take a late afternoon scramble through the woods, we'll be keeping a brisk pace and get some cardio pumping, and maybe if it cool enough, some might want to even jog a bit of this trail.
Bring a snack and plenty of water, maybe we'll stop at a nearby restaurant after the hike!

Required Items to Bring:
water, snack, hiking shoes

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Big Creek Greenway (North Point)
Paved, level hike along Big Creek (Vickery Creek) just east of GA 400

Alpharetta

There are many easy approaches to this trail.

From GA 400 north - Take Mansell Road east to Northpoint Parkway (first light). Turn left. Just past the Ethan Allen building is a driveway with a sign "Big Creek Greenway" on the right.
From GA 400 south - Turn left on Haynes Bridge then right at Northpoint Parkway. Make a U turn at Center Bridge Parkway and Big Creek Greenway is on the right, just past Ethan Allen.
From Alpharetta - Take Wills Road to Hembree RD. Turn left on Hembree, then right on Maxwell. Turn right at the end of Maxwell and left at the first traffic light. This is Center Bridge Road. Cross GA 400 and continue to Northpoint Parkway. Turn left and Big Creek Greenway is on the right.
