About: PATH's first trail connected Olympic venues at Georgia Tech and Stone Mountain with at least a route and in many locations a treasured greenway trail.

The trail now begins at Centennial Olympic Park and travels through Freedom Park before becoming an on-street connection on moderately traveled streets though Candler Park and Lake Claire neighborhoods. The Stone Mountain Trail becomes a side path through Decatur and then a rails-to-trails greenway into Clarkston (over I-285). This trail is a side path to the outskirts of Stone Mountain Village. There are several blocks of sharing busy streets through the village to get to Stone Mountain Park. It is a busy trail suitable for families on weekends.
