A Family enjoying the bike trails at Cochran shoals. (NPS - Russell Virgilio)

The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area has two trails open for bicycling, the Cochran Shoals Loop Trail and the Sope Creek Trail. Both trails are multi-use; open to walkers (with or without dogs) and joggers. The Cochran Shoals trail can be accessed at the Interstate North entrance and the Columns Drive entrance of Cochran Shoals. This trail is best suited for the recreational bike rider. The trail is a relatively flat, hard packed surface that winds past the river and through the wetlands for a total of three miles. Perfect for the family bike ride!

The Sope Creek Trail is designed for mountain bikes. The trail winds through the woods and is rugged and steep in some areas. This trail is best accessed from the Sope Creek entrance. A map of the park may be obtained by clicking here.
