Big Trees Forest Preserve

"Great trails! Absolutely beautiful for being so close to Atlanta. This is my dog’s favorite place. There is a quaint stream zigzagging through the preserve and a long backcountry loop that takes about 25 minutes to complete. It isn’t any state or national park tbh but it is a true gem because it is so close to the city. I’m so happy this place exists. The land is obviously worth millions but I’m very thankful it has been set aside for the public enjoyment. Thank you!"

"I read the reviews online and noticed that this wasn't over 5 miles from my home and when I visited today I really enjoyed walking the hiking trails, it does have a lot of shade and there are lots of beautiful trees and you must always watch your footing on the trails because there's a lot of tree roots, rocks, hills etc... I got a really good 2 mile hike in and I got nice and sweaty and then I needed to head home to shower and complete my day, this is a beautiful place to hike, I really enjoyed it, and all the hills definitely help me get in a good workout that also offered beautiful views. I will be back soon."

"A 32 acres park/preserve directly on Roswell road in Sandy Springs with multiple looping shady trails under relatively big trees. Some along a small creek with few woody bridges. There also few seating/picnic areas. The park is beautiful. The parking lot is of fair size and free."

"The trails are fine for walking, but mostly unremarkable. The creek is nice, but the real highlight is a tunnel in the southeast corner which is in great shape, about 300m long, and has about 2 inches of water flowing through it in the pitch black. Highly recommended, with sandals/water shoes and flashlights."
