Carpooling and Locking Your Car
The number of people utilizing the greenways has greatly increased. Here are just a few tips to help keep the parking lots from over flowing, and for protecting your belongings while on the greenway.
Trails reopen after heavy rains
Both the Alpharetta and Forsyth Big Creek Greenway trails reopened today after being closed for the weekend due to heavy rain.
Trail Closed Again Due to Flooding
Another 2 inches of rain in the area has caused Big Creek to rise to almost 7 feet in Forsyth and just above 7 feet in Alpharetta.
Trail Open for a Beautiful Weekend
Following a trend of rain, snow, and cold weather, this weekend looks to be sunny and in the mid 50s. With little precipitation this week, it looks like both the Alpharetta and Forsyth trails will be open.

Site Plans and Upcoming Features
Our site is constantly evolving. We’re striving to make this the best site to get information about the Big Creek Greenway in Forsyth and Fulton Counties. To further this effort, we wanted to ask our users what they would like to see on the site, and also give an idea of the features and content currently being developed.

We’ve added a new feature to help determine if the Big Creek Greenway is usable with the recent rains. Now you can check on the weather and Big Creek river level in your area at the top of our site.
Fall on the Big Creek Greenway
Fall is my favorite season in Georgia. The weather is a great relief from the hot, humid Georgia summers. Throw in the brilliant colors as the leaves change and begin to fall, and there is no reason not to be outside.
