Paulding SORBA Bike Trails:
Silver Comet Trail:
531 Seaboard Avenue Hiram, GA 30141
Silver Comet Trail, (a rail-trail that extends the entire width of Paulding County),
a fully paved rail-trail built on abandoned railroad lines. This quiet, non-motorized trail is for walkers, hikers, bicyclists, roller bladders, horses, dog walkers, and is wheelchair accessible. The Silver Comet Trail is over 61 miles long, and starts near Mavell Road in Smyrna, Georgia. It ends at the Georgia/Alabama state line, near Cedartown and Esom.
Silver Comet Side-Track:
531 Seaboard Avenue Hiram, GA 30141
Paulding SORBA created a partnership with the Paulding County Parks and Recreation Department and The Paulding County Sherriffs Office to initiate the maintenance and re-alignment of several dangerous sections. It includes 8 miles of intermittent single track that enters and exits the very popular Silver Comet Trail, so that riders can take a break or ride the entire bi-directional trail out and back. It will soon be extended another 6 to 7 miles to the boundary of Paulding Forest Wildlife Management Area. 1400 volunteer hours went into resurrecting this trail in 2007!
Sara Babb Mountain Bike Park:
216 Recreation Drive Dallas, Ga 30132
We installed our first GATEWAY TRAIL project Sara Babb Park located in the city limits of Dallas houses 1.5 miles of trail and will soon give way to another 4 miles as soon as land acquisition has been settled. Over 1000 volunteer hours went into installing the Gateway trail at Sara Babb Park.
MT Tabor Mountain Bike Park:
1550 East Paulding Drive Dallas, GA 30157
We are working on another Gateway Trail project also located in Dallas on county park property. Mt. Tabor Park currently houses 4.5 miles of trail in a stacked loop formation. This trail system will have 8 to 10 miles when it is completed. The park is very close to Roberts Elementary and talks have begun to start a pilot after school mountain bike program. We have completed 2 loops in under a year and accrued almost 3500 volunteer hrs in 2009!
Austell Treadmill Mountain Bike Park:
We have just started a new park in Austell Ga which will house close to 15 miles of trail. This park is located adjacent to Austell Government complex, Garret Middle School, and Clarkdale Park.
Mixed Loop Trails:
When the trails are closed...we ride fire roads!
