Bob Callan Trail NewsBob Callan Trail - final segment Complete!
The Cumberland Community Improvement District and Cobb County announce the completion of the Bob Callan Trail. With this new extension and trailhead, the popular trail is now four miles long.
The extension starts at Interstate North Parkway and Cumberland Parkway. It runs up Interstate North Parkway to Windy Hill Road. At that point, Interstate North Parkway becomes Bentley Road. The trailhead is located on the northeast corner of Windy Hill and Bentley. Note: Where the trail crosses Windy Hill Road, it's necessary to use the pedestrian crossing, since the route doesn't involve a tunnel. The trailhead has a workout area, granite chairs, and bike share. Read more about the Bob Callan Trail on the CCID website. Final Segment of Bob Callan Trail Underway
On January 31, 2024, an enthusiastic crew of dignitaries hoisted shovels to launch construction of the final stretch of the Bob Callan Trail. The 0.3-mile segment is scheduled to be finished in early 2025 and will bring the total length of the Bob Callan Trail to 4 miles.
The groundbreaking was hosted by the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID), whose Executive Director, Kim Menefee, spoke at the ceremony. She noted the trail will bridge the Cumberland district to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, to Marietta, and beyond, adding to over 38 miles of existing trails in the Cumberland district. The ambitious project is the result of impressive cooperation involving Cobb County, the CCID, Select Cobb, Cobb Travel & Tourism, and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). Our area is so fortunate to have the Bob Callan Trail, and the PFCA was honored to be included in the event. |
