Work is underway to build a new stretch of trail called the Creek Walk Connector along a northeast Atlanta meadow and the north fork of Peachtree Creek. The multi-use, ADAaccessible trail is a collaboration between South Fork Conservancy and PATH Foundation. The connector, a critical segment linking the two nonprofits’ existing trail systems and other regional trails, is being funded through a nearly $1 million state grant from the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Association (GOSA). The project involves building of a 12-foot-wide, multiuse trail, restoring 50,000 square feet of creekside Work continues on the Creek Walk Connector. habitat, improving a soft-surface trail through the meadow, and creating a new pocket park with interpretive signage, bike racks, and benches. The 1,600-foot-long multiuse trail begins at Lindbergh Drive and heads southeast along I-85 at the meadow’s edge, ultimately joining the Confluence Bridge. This intersection marks the meeting of the South Fork trail system, the Atlanta BeltLine, and PATH400. Future plans include a connection to the Peachtree Creek Greenway.
