Cherokee Trail
The loop around the base of the mountain, with the lake, the streams, the Grist Mill and a steep west side most people never see. I prefer it to the climb to the top.

Each review puts the trail first: how to get there, where to park, how long it takes and what to watch for. The newest are drawn from my own recordings of the walk.
Indian Island
The short loop around the island at the end of the covered bridge, with the mountain across the water. Where I go when I'm short on time.

Venable Lake Loop
A short loop around Venable Lake on the south side of the mountain, half on the Cherokee Trail and half on a connector, with the water beside you nearly the whole way.

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

Know a trail I should walk?
As I add reviews, I’d like to hear about trails you love that I haven’t walked yet, and I’ll do my best to get to them.
