The Silver Comet Trail is part of the Georgia Path project, which also includes over 20 miles of trails in the Atlanta Metro area. The Silver Comet Trail is a 61.5 mile long concrete rail-trail going from Smyrna to the Georgia-Alabama state line, where it meets the Chief  Ladiga Trail.  The route is quite flat, with only slight grades but no real hills.  Even so, the Silver Comet Trail is very scenic, as it runs through forests, cliffs, and across bridges.  One of the trail highlights is crossing the Pumpkinvine Creek Trestle, a 750 foot long, 126 foot high bridge.  A little farther west is the 800 foot Brushy Mountain tunnel.  Combined, the Silver Comet Trail and Chief Ladiga Trail make up one of the longest paved rail-trails in the United States!
