Ivy Creek Greenway

The Ivy Creek Greenway offers a delightful touring cycling experience, winding through picturesque woodlands and wetlands. You'll glide over smooth asphalt, crunch along gravel paths, and cross impressive wooden boardwalks, including a 270-foot cable bridge spanning Ivy Creek. Keep an eye out for local wildlife like deer and various birds as you enjoy the peaceful, shaded environment on this easy 5.8-mile (9.3 km) route.

Planning your visit is straightforward, with access points near the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center and the Mall of Georgia. While the trail is generally accessible, be aware that a section between the Mill Creek Apartments and the Environmental and Heritage Center was closed for bridge reconstruction as of March 2026, so it's wise to check current conditions. This family-friendly path is perfect for a quick 42-minute ride, with minimal elevation gain of just 121 feet (37 metres).

Beyond its natural beauty, the Ivy Creek Greenway offers a glimpse into local history as it passes the ruins of the Woodward Mill Historic Site. The route also connects to the larger Suwanee Creek Greenway at its southern end, providing options for an extended cycling adventure. It's a key part of a developing trail network, making it a great choice for those looking for popular trails routes and scenic viewpoints.
