The Cumberland Connector

posted in Parks & Recreation |

Welcome back!

You may have noticed the proliferation of these signs recently. Part of the ongoing trails projects in Cobb County, an extension has been added to the Silver Comet Trail.

The Cumberland Connector is an extension of The Silver Comet Trail, starting from the Silver Comet Connector at South Cobb Drive, heading east along Cumberland Parkway, then north on Atlanta Road. There is a trailhead at the new Oakdale Park that was recently built on Atlanta Road with parking and bathroom facilities.

From there the trail continues north on Atlanta Road, cuts across Spring Hill Road to Paces Ferry Road, crosses over Paces Ferry Road at Spring Hill Parkway and the trail continues on until Mount Wilkinson Parkway, where the trail traverses I-285 on its own trail bridge, then heads along Cumberland Parkway to Cumberland Boulevard and continues on Cumberland Boulevard until stopping just shy of Cobb Parkway.

In total the Cumberland Connector is a little over five miles. But best of all, using the Cumberland Connector you will now be able to ride your bike to the Cumberland Mall. If anyone goes shopping at Costco on their bike, let me know because I would love to get a picture of someone coming back from a Costco shopping trip on their bike.

The race takes place on the Silver Comet trail, Atlanta’s hottest running trail…and why is it so popular? Because it’s FLAT! The Silver Comet Trail can be easily accessed from several Monte Hewett communities, like Stonehaven at Vinings and West Village via the Cumberland Connector. [...]
