I like riding with no traffic and no dogs. So if there are sections of the trail that go through the woods away from civilization this would be the sections that I would like to ride. Did you notice any of this type of riding along the trail?
There are no "regular roads" other than crossings anywhere along the trail. Of the close to 100 mile length of the combined Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga, I've ridden most of it and and virtually all of that is "through the woods away from civilization". You do go through the occasional town but still on the dedicated trail. No neighborhoods at all and the only dogs I've seen were on a leash with people on the trail.
Here are a couple of pictures from close to the Atlanta side, they are representative of the trail.
