Great place for mountain biking. From easy trails to difficult, small kids pump trails, and advanced jumps, drops and technical trails. Was very busy when we went, but I am not surprised. Only downside was the maps were not great. Once someone explained it, only then they made sense.

Great MTB Park. Small but has a lot of jumps, drops, berms, and you can make your own line starting from the top. Very very fun place. If you havent been there. Go.

Tremendous park for mountain biking. Good options for all skill levels and very well maintained. Picnic tables for snacking when done. Only downside is somewhat limited parking. On a weekday, no problem. I could see it being frustrating on a weekend.

Incredible system of walking, running, road bike and mountain bike trails set in the woods. There is literally something for everyone here. There are wide, paved paths. There are wide, unpaved trails for walking or trail running. There are beginner and intermediate singletrack mountain biking trails. And there are advanced and expert downhill and jump trails for mountain biking. This a truly amazing area to explore and enjoy.

Perfect for hiking or bike mountain! All type of levels are available. A lot of fun for sure! I saw some deers when I’ve riding, with some lucky you’re gonna see them. Keep the good work.

Great place to go for a run or to ride bicycles. Following the paved way its just short of 16 miles.

Nice facility. There are separate restrooms. Plenty of parking. I wished there are benches to sit for testing.

Big Creek Park is packed on the weekends, for good reason. It offers opportunities for just about any kind of person-powered transportation, plus ample wildlife viewing. Come here during the week if you can, for a little additional solitude.

Tons of path to walk through & little creeks to cross. River views, trout fishing, wide paths, tiny waterfalls, just a joy to walk. I still havent discovered all of the side paths!

Nice hiking trails and paved path! Options for abilities. No playground, despite the name park but we didnt want that anyway, so it was great for us!

I took my seven year old to ride the pump tracks. He was bored after about 45 minutes. They are pretty small. There are two parking lots, go all the way to the bottom if youre taking little ones.

Awesome trails for humans and dogs alike. Greenway connects here too which is great for getting some distance runs in with the pup. Only downside is flooding during rainy season, but makes for a very full Creek!

Good place for exercise, walking, running or biking. Except that after a rainy day, some spots in trail are a little muddy and messy.

Awesome bike trail for kids and adults - big creek green way. Not too crowded either...Go down the hill for the bike trail parking...the first parking lot is for mountain biking...learned that the hard way.

Long trail, but the lack of signage made it difficult to navigate.

This is a nice park, lots of paved walking paths around the wetlands, some Boardwalk through the trees, and plenty of twisty-turny singletrack thats supposedly mixed-use, but the bikes that came up behind us did not seem happy that we were hiking on their trails. I dont love these kinds of hikes because it feels more like exercise then getting anywhere since youre just twisting and turning around a green space, but at least its outside and in nature.

Beautiful any time of the year, long trails for pedestrians and bikes/bicycles. Our family likes to spend time here. No playground for small children, but nice for long walks. Big parking lots in different areas of the park

Its has mostly flat trails that are good for biking, roller blading, walking, and running. There are a few mountain biking trails near the end too. Unfortunately, some parts smell due to proximity to the sewer.

Ive never had such an adrenaline rush! The cx trails are great and varying in difficulty. The downhill section is even better. Definitly my fav park to date!

Great mountain biking trails at the Roswell end of Big Creek Greenway. They are color code for difficulty - Green is the easiest, and black is the hardest. Excellent pump tracks. Kids love them! For regular biking, theres the flat Big Creek Greenway that runs for a few miles up to Windward parkway. Currently theres work going on to connect Alpharetta Big Creek trail with Forsyth Big Creek trail.

My first mtb experience was today at this park and it was awesome! Beginners trail was great and not intimidating at all. I even rode a bit of the intermediate trail but was already pretty gassed lol. Gotta ride more and get my cardio up! Fun trail. Easy to navigate. Recommended for sure.

Very nice clean trail system. Many trails to choose from. Trails are good for bikers, walkers, and runners. Clean restrooms and ample parking. Rental bikes available via app, which is awesome for those wanting to bike the entire big creek park! Overall, this is a must visit park in Roswell!

Review №55

Went here on Labor Day last week to go for a bike ride. The cyclists were courteous and would notify you when they were about to pass on the left and the walkers gave me room to get by. Was not expecting to see any wildlife with the crowd, but a doe and her fawn went across the trail and the people stopped to watch. The trail I took was paved cement but I did see a few places you could go and do an actual hike. It was mainly flat with very minor hills and bridges to walk across that gave a beautiful view of the creek running underneath. Did not see any litter around which was very encouraging. Cant wait to go back and do a longer ride!

An oasis in the city. My family and I hike and bike here, and appreciate not having to drive hours to get outside. We dont play football or baseball or soccer, and with no other mountain bike trails near us, we love having this green space recreation option!

Really good but my friend got in a huge crash today as he was overconfident on the free rang for his first time and I broke my bike a few hundred in repairs today BUT its still really good would recommend

I absolutely love this place. You can always manage to find an area you might not have explored yet. Its the one place I know I can get as many miles as I want in without it being the exact same route every single time. Wish there were more like this.

One of our favorite places for mountain biking. My husband is advanced and Im a beginner and there are trails that challenge us both!The connection to the paved trail is perfect for when we bring the stroller.I appreciate the art that is being added throughout the park and Green Belt. Gives it a lot of personality.

I really enjoy this park. The green and blue trails are super fun! If you go to the bottom of the park you will find a bathroom and drinking fountain. There is also a green way trail that anyone can take if single track trail riding is not what your comfortable with. Be sure to bring a helmet and water bottle! There are pit stop stations just in case you need to work on your bike, you just need to make it there first. I hope they continue to keep this park maintained. Thanks R.A.M.B.O

Real really like his Parts. There are Miles and Miles of trails. All of them are paid. Some of them are gravel. The deers are so used to people that they just stand there allowing you to take pictures at the end of the trails, they were bathroom and bicycle rental.

Cool network of mtn bike trails with directional rising on opposite days. A cool way to get in miles. I was a bit bummed there werent more berms/banked turns and creative features considering how heavily trafficked this place is.

Review №82

I love these trails. They are well made. And great for endurance. The jump trails are a bit tough however. The difficulty is exceptionally high and if you are looking for down hill slopes where you can enjoy speed as a beginner. Forget it.But the variety here is amazing. Definitely check it out.

Review №85

Mixed MTB and paved trails. Would have given it 3.5 if it were available. The MTB tracks have something for all levels, intermediate tracks are somewhat Rocky but offer decent elevation gain. The scenery just isn’t very diverse. Nevertheless it’s a great track to get a good workout on.The paved trails are great for family rides/walks. They are good for road bikes as well. I typically try to only ride my road bike there during the week or early mornings on the weekends due to pedestrian traffic being heavy late morning through the afternoon. Esp watch out for small kids.

Great place to ride and in the city too! This place has everything from cross-country to jump lines! Great variety!

Ca
Review №87

Great place to begin the Big Creek Greenway to Alpharetta (13.4 mi to Marconia and back) Off to the side of the lower parking lot is a dirt track and a smaller one for tots. This is a lovely 5 star park but the forbidden speed training crowd brought it down to four for me. And yes, theyre on every trail, but they ruin the stop and smell the roses bicyclists like me. Other than that its a beautiful way to spend a few hours.

Mi

Excellent for a variety of riding types. From babbling brook to roaring river. This isnt just a big creek.

Review №89

Lots of green space, trails, and hills. I didnt see pull-up bars or a place to do sit-ups which would make it a perfect place for the complete workout. Other than that it was perfect

Awesome place for practicing mountain biking. Trails for both beginners and more advanced bikers. Great for a good workout and if u r lucky, for a glimpse of the deer folk that call this place their home.

There are wonderful hiking trails, a super long paved biking trail and places to stop and sit. If you like trail running you can take the paved trail or the tougher dirt paths especially designed for bikes.

3 levels of trails, excellent for a quick ride or if you have more time you can ride in the advance trail. Many signs around the trails.

Great greenway path for walking, running or biking. Sometime closes tmdue to high water on Big Creek, but the rest of the time its the best easy ride on the North side

Review of the MTB trails:The trails are great! They have been built and maintained well, and provide a great variety for such a small park. Making them formal helps keep the tails fresh. The Free Ride trails are also very nice. Theyre short, since there isnt much elevation, but well planned and challenging enough to keep you coming back.Definitely worth a drive!

Review №99

Favorite local mountain biking park! I find that this one of the tougher parks in the area. The trails are very rocky and have lots of roots. That being said, most obstacles have an alternative route for those less advanced so you dont have to bail, which is nice. If you mountain bike and are in the South East region, you must stop here!

I loved how the Roswell Greenway is connected to the Big Creek Greenway in Alpharetta! What a lovely peaceful walk. You can also ride your bike.
