Here's an article about the Chattahoochee River mixed-use trail. If this trail is built, and connects to other projected trails as the Cobb DOT plans it to, the network of trails would loop from the Silver Comet Trail entrance at Floyd Road, down Floyd Road and Mableton Parkway to the Chattahoochee, up the Chattahoochee, crossing the river at I-285, and onward to Peachtree Creek in the City of Atlanta.
Cobb and Atlanta's planners began talking about this while they were planning modifications to Donald Hollowell Parkway and Veteran's Memorial Highway.
Those of you who know the area, think about this. You'd be able to leave the Silver Comet Trail at Floyd Road, access businesses and amenities along Floyd (grocery stores, the post office, the library) then loop to the river along Mableton Parkway, and ride to the park Cobb County is planning at the mouth of Nickajack Creek and the river. In the long run, if the Trust for Public Land is successful with their plan, the river trail network would go from Buford Dam on the north, to the Chattahoochee Bend State Park near Coweta County on the south.
