Laurel Ridge Trail
A fun trail with views of Lake Lanier, the Buford Dam, and the Chattahoochee River all in one loop — but watch for the missing markers.

Get to Know Your Trails Before You Go
It’s good to know what to expect when hitting a new trail. We do our best to identify the good, the bad, and those little details that can make all the difference to a great day out!
We Encourage Discovery
Embrace Your Adventure
As much as we love our technology there is nothing that compares to seeing the sunrise from atop a mountain or watching the river flow by in a tree-lined meadow. As fun as each adventure to a remote or semi-remote trail is, it’s still a good idea to be aware of where you’re going before you actually hit the trail. That’s where HikeAlong comes in! We can’t replace experiencing a trail in person but we can help you make sure you get the most from your day out!
