If you’re ever out on the river at dawn try calling out, The group was not able to identify a localīarred Owl, which are more often heard in the early morning as they hunt forĬrawfish in the river. Another find was the Eastern Bluebird, which has been diminishing in numbers across the country. To the group’s delight, when Lillie played the call of the Blue Jay from her phone, a local Chattahoochee Blue Jay responded! Here’s what the call of a Blue Jay sounds like.

The portion along Atlanta Road once you get to it behind Dobbins is very nice but there is no easy way over the 120 Loop/South Marietta Parkway and for some reason the Confederate cemetery is now entirely fenced without an easy entry so you can not cross over to West Atlanta Street (a much better biking road than Atlanta Road) without risking your life to West Dixie-and by then you will just stay on Atlanta until you pick up the trail in another half mile or so and worst part behind you. This is why you will see so many bikers staying off the trail and biking Kennesaw Avenue itself and straight into Marietta-people tend to take the best route. Seems obvious to take the most efficient and already heavily used route along the sidewalks rather than extending an extra mile to behind Kennestone. Why the trail does not continue along Kennesaw Avenue into Marrietta is beyond me except for the political reality of not disturbing the nicer older homes' already existing sidewalks to make them multi-use paths. Here is where the trail design belays the strong bias towards recreational and wandering trails designed for a pleasant roll rather than transportation and commuter routes designed to move people efficiently. The trail is still being developed from Roselane to Atlanta Road behind Dobbins AFB. The plan is to run along Campbell Hill to Church through downtown Marrietta and then along Atlanta Street towards Smyrna. There is still a gap from where the trail turns to the east from Kennsaw Avenue and Tower and extends to Roselane but not yet beyond. See The Mountain to River Trail is planned to extend to the River (and Smyrna) and much of that route is complete along Atlanta Road but not all.
The trail also extends to the NW along Old 41 to Barrett Parkway where it joins the Noonday Creek trail extending from Burnt Hickory along Barrett all the way to Bells Ferry Road between East Piedmont/Barrett and Chastain Road. Very nice trail from Kennesaw National Battlefield Park to almost Kennestone Hospital area.
