The Atlanta BeltLine is one of the largest urban redevelopment programs underway in the U.S., with a plan to provide a network of public parks, multi-use trails and transit along a historic 22-mile railroad corridor circling downtown and connecting many neighborhoods directly to each other. This route is focused on the midtown section, anchored at Piedmont Park.
The most developed section is the paved 2 mile trail from 10th St. & Monroe Ave. at Piedmont Park south to DeKalb. There are numerous interesting plantings, views to the historic 4th Ward, and places to stop and grab a bite. It’s crowded and festive. At the 1.3 mile mark, intersect with the Freedom Trail/Carter Library.
Headed north from Piedmont Park out of the botanical garden, this section of the Beltline is mostly gravel, crossing Piedmont Ave. NE and continuing for 1.2 miles to I-85, skirting the Ansley Golf Club. There’s a cool mural @the 1-mile mark headed north.
Add-Ons: Piedmont Park, grounds of Freedom Parkway/Carter Center, and Historic Fourth Ward Park.
