Charleston Park Trail

A 5.9-mile loop through the woods of Charleston Park just outside Cumming. The trail is easy to follow with clearly marked hiking and cycling routes, and the outer loop treats you to beautiful views over Lake Lanier. Expect plenty of ups and downs and a few sharp turns — it's a local favorite for hikers and mountain bikers alike, with ample parking near the trailhead.

• Difficulty: Moderate · 488 ft elevation gain · about 2–2.5 hours
• What hikers say: well-shaded paths and great lake views; the steeper climbs and muddy spots are the main challenges.
