Over 25 miles of multi-use trails at Lake Leatherwood City Park are designed as low-impact, singletrack nature trails for foot and bike traffic. Many rocky ledges, steep slopes, extended grades, creek crossings and varied terrain make most trails challenging for both foot and bike traffic. The trails have been marked with two colors to help with orientation.
The beginning of the trails are only 1 mile away from your campsite. Shuttles are available at the trails to ferry you back to the top for all day riding!
