Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Distances and routes come from the City of Woodstock’s Greenprints Trail System page and SORBA Woodstock, linked. Woodstock Parks and Recreation: 770-517-6788.

Woodstock’s trails belong to the Greenprints Trail System, a plan adopted by the mayor and City Council in June 2008 as part of the city’s Comprehensive Town Plan 2030. It calls for more than 60 miles of trails and open space across the city. The paved trails connect downtown, Towne Lake and the dog park; the mountain bike trails are at Olde Rope Mill Park.

Noonday Creek Trail is the main spine: it links downtown Woodstock with Highway 92 and crosses Noonday Creek on a bridge to reach Woofstock Park. In December 2023 officials from the city and Cherokee and Cobb counties broke ground on a southern extension, the city says. The city’s Noonday Creek Trail spotlight maps it.

Towne Lake Pass, 1.94 miles, was paid for through the Cherokee County Parks Bond. It turns into the woods near the Woodstock High School complex and follows the Noonday Creek corridor under I-575. Combined with the Noonday Creek Trail from Woofstock Park, it makes a walk from Towne Lake to downtown.

Rubes Creek Trail, a 0.70-mile concrete multi-use trail, was funded by a GDOT Transportation Enhancement grant and will eventually be part of a Downtown Loop.

Mountain bike trails

The Taylor Randahl Memorial Mountain Bike Trails at Olde Rope Mill Park, 690 Olde Rope Mill Road, total 14 miles on three trail systems, from advanced cross-country to smooth flow lines, according to the city. SORBA Woodstock, which builds and maintains them with the city, says the trails are divided into 10 loops and lists these at The Mill:

Trail at The Mill Distance SORBA rating
Moore’s Pass 0.5 mile Beginner; clockwise only
Raceway 1.8 miles Beginner, with intermediate features
Powerhouse 1.8 miles Intermediate, with advanced features
Turbine 1.0 mile Intermediate, with advanced features; clockwise only

Direction changes by day. Most loops run clockwise on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday and counterclockwise on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, SORBA says on its Olde Rope Mill Park page. Hikers and runners are welcome but must yield to bikes and travel in the opposite direction.

Dupree Park Family Mountain Bike Trails, 513 Neese Road, are wide and smooth, with a short skills trail that teaches balance and bike handling, for children, new riders and anyone getting back on a bike after a long break.

Check trail status after rain on SORBA Woodstock’s status page before you ride. Maps and the trail rules are on the city’s mountain biking page.

E-bikes

At Olde Rope Mill Park, a bike that needs a throttle to move and does not need pedaling counts as a motor vehicle and may not be ridden on the Corps of Engineers property without authorization. A pedal-assist bike whose motor stops when you stop pedaling is treated as a mountain bike and is allowed, according to the city’s park page. The city’s bikes and e-bikes page explains the city’s rules for e-bikes and other personal mobility devices.

Coming next: Little River Park

Little River Park, under construction on Trickum Road, will add trails along the Little River from Trickum Road to the Woodlands subdivision and a water trail to Olde Rope Mill Park. At 110 acres it will be the city’s largest park. Details are in our parks and trails guide.

Tips

  • Woofstock Park is the best single trailhead: two paved trails start there, and dogs can run in the off-leash park after. See dog-friendly Woodstock.
  • Downtown, park free in the City Center East deck, more than 600 spaces, and walk to the Market Street start of the Noonday Creek Trail.
  • In an emergency on a trail, call 911.
