We will keep you posted as we hear more about when this section will re-open.  For now the parking lot at Union Hill remains open, and the trail is still open North of Union Hill.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from BigCreekGreenway.com

There hasn’t been much news on the Greenway this fall.  The connecting of the two trails is still in planning, and the extensions for both Forsyth and Alpharetta are still underway.  Other than that, a few new signs lining the trail in Forsyth County and the occasional flood are about the only things going on.

After a long, cold fall, I know I’m ready to get back outside and work off some of that extra food from the holidays.  It is still cold outside, but the Greenway will still be open, so put on your jackets, gloves and hats and get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!

Unfortunately, even with sun and moderate temperatures forecast, the flooding will likely close the Greenway for the weekend.  Please check the Alpharetta website for the status of the Greenway and call the Greenway Status Hotline (770.886.2851 extension 5) for the Forsyth Greenway before visiting the trails.
