Bike Alpharetta was proud to be part of the ribbon cutting ceremony in June as the new 2.2-mile northern section of Alpharetta’s Big Creek Greenway was opened to the public! The new segment of concrete multi-use pathway runs from the Marconi Drive trailhead to Union Hill Park and McGinnis Ferry Road.

Visit our Maps & More section to see the map of the Greenway extension in Fulton County, completed by the City of Alpharetta in June 2021.

Forsyth County has plans to make the final connection to its section of the greenway in the future, which will make it a full 14 miles in one direction. For now, anyone wanting to ride from Union Hill Park, the northernmost section in Fulton County, to Halcyon, it is suggested that people turn LEFT from Union Hill Road to McGinnis Ferry Road using the grassy shoulder (caution on busy road), and you will find a concrete path, then turn right and follow the multi-use path (on north side) or bike lane for one mile to Halcyon.

Huge thanks to the City of Alpharetta for signage designating our adopted stretch of road between Henderson Pkwy and Highway 9 on Cumming Street. A well used cycling route, we’ve been picking up debris and litter since August of 2019. Proudly displayed!

It’s Year 14 for Bikes For Kids Alpharetta – collecting, cleaning/repairing, donating “Santa Ready” bikes/trikes to the Holiday Program for North Fulton Community Charities!!!! Wow, Year 14!

Don’t let the Coronavirus keep you from getting some exercise! Our first ever “Do It Yourzelf Zen Ride” will start June 5 – and continue on the first and third Fridays of every month. Start out on the Greenway (bike, run, walk, skate) from Marconi Drive trailhead, and then end with adult beverages at Jekyll Brewing Taproom (also near the Marconi Drive trailhead). Ride solo or with family after work — the Taproom is open from 4 pm to 10 pm on Fridays. Note that Taproom has outdoor seating, and interior seating is available again.
