Allatoona Creek Park's main trailhead is off of Old Stilesboro Road in Acworth. This park's trails are maintained by the West Georgia Chapter of IMBA(International Mountain Bicycling Association)-SORBA and are tucked in around Little Allatoona Creek. I rode the Turtle Back Trail today a 4 mile intermediate loop trail that has some very small climbs, a few bridges, a couple rock gardens and some really great, tight turns. Most of the trail just rolls and turns, some is tight and curvy single track, and some more of it is a little wider, more open, and straighter. All in all it is a great park, from what I have seen so far. The folks that maintain the trail do a great job as the trail bed is great and the route is fantastic. Signs to trails are a little lacking. So here is a tip park at the main trailhead and go to the kiosk to the left in the parking lot as you enter, from there cross the street and follow that trail(keeping in mind that it is bi-directional) to the Turtle Back Trail trailhead. I definitely will be heading back to Allatoona Creek Park soon . Load your bike, grab some water, don't forget you helmet, and hit the trail.
