Peachtree City’s hallmark is its 100-plus mile network of shared-use paths for pedestrians, cyclists and golf carts, winding through the woods between neighborhoods, shopping centers, schools, parks and lakes, according to the city’s paths and motorized carts page. Add the nature areas and two natural surface bike trails, and you can walk or ride for days without a road. Peachtree City is in Fayette County.

The path system

The paths go almost everywhere: from neighborhoods to The Avenue and the village shopping centers, to schools, City Hall, the library and the lakes. A cart and pedestrian bridge carries the paths over Highway 54. The city also marks Huddleston Road, Dividend Drive and Robinson Road as bike-friendly streets with a bike lane or bike route.

A few good outings:

  • Lake Peachtree. Park at Battery Way Park, 110 Battery Way, and take the path south to J.K. “Chip” Conner Island, reached by a pedestrian bridge. Our Lake Peachtree guide has more.
  • City center. Drake Field, City Hall, the library and the Village Green disc golf course sit together on Willowbend Road, so one short walk takes in all four.
  • Lake Kedron. The path crosses Lake Kedron on its own bridge beside Peachtree Parkway.

Nature trails

  • Line Creek Nature Area: a 70-acre preserve on the Fayette-Coweta line, with an upland hardwood forest, granite outcrops along the creek, native azaleas, a fishing dock, a gazebo, restrooms and almost three miles of trails. Look for the old mill sites. Parking, the restroom and the pond area are accessible. Leash your dog.
  • Somerby Woods: 40 acres, an easy 0.7-mile trail and a small pond, good for birding. The entrance is at the back of a senior living community’s parking lot.
  • Flat Creek: a boardwalk through wetlands, starting at the McIntosh Trail Recreation Complex, open sunrise to sunset.

Mountain biking

The Peachtree City Athletic Complex has a 3-mile single-track natural surface trail and a mountain bike park, and the Gin Branch Trails, 100 World Drive, add more than a mile of natural surface trail with a pollinator garden; Gin Branch opened in June 2026. The South Side Cycling Club runs group rides; see its website. AtlantaTrek has a Peachtree City shop that rents bikes, the city says.
