PATH Foundation Trails
Decatur has three PATH Foundation trails running within the city! The Decatur PATH includes the Commerce Drive Cycle Track, and runs from Church Street to West Howard Avenue (just past the Decatur High School). The East Decatur Greenway borders the east side of Legacy Park, running from the Avondale MARTA Station (within the City of Decatur) to South Columbia Drive. And the Stone Mountain Trail runs east to west through the middle of Decatur along the railroad. Follow it east to Stone Mountain and take a lap or two around the mountain or take it west to the Atlanta Beltline and Piedmont Park.
Both the Decatur PATH and East Decatur Greenway are easily connected to the Stone Mountain Trail.
