Forsyth Big Creek Greenway, A Preview of Phase 1 - Slideshow
A preview of incompleted phase 1 of the Forsyth County Big Creek Greenway. This phase runs between McFarland Parkway and Highway 9, starting on the East/South side of GA 400. While the trail is paved and the boardwalks are complete, the trail is still closed to the general public as it is not maintained or monitored as phase 2 and 3 are. On weekdays you may run into construction on this segment of the trail. Use at your own risk until the official opening of the phase this late fall or winter.
