Alpharetta YMCA Beginners Trail
6 reviews
 3.67 of 5

Beginner's trail. Extremely easy. I helped RAMBO build it and we didn't make anything that would be difficult. Mostly level singletrack with about 3 easy switchbacks.

Trail Directions
Get off GA 400 at Mansell Road (There's a trail there too!). Go right and then left onto North Point Parkway. Follow that for about 4-5 miles. On your right side, there will be the entrance to the Ed Isakton YMCA of Alpharetta. Drive in there and go to the bottom of the hill. Park your car and get your bike. Ride onto the Greenway (Cement) for about 3/4 of a mile. There will be a bridge to your right. Go across it and make an immediate right. The traihead is righ there.

Great for younger riders who are looking for a great starting point, my sister a 9 year old rides the upper and lower just fine and she loves it.

Summary:
Excellent relaxing long paved trail. Altough the directions there could be better. If you go up GA 400 to Exit 10, Old Milton Parkway, turn Right off the exit Northpoint Parkway is a light or so up, make a Left. The sign for the YMCA is another light down on the Right.

Reviewed by: Johnny , from Cumming, Ga

Summary:
This is a fun ride. Not too difficult, but closer to me than Blankets Creek. I took exit 10 to North Point Parkway. Much shorter than following the directions posted here if you come from the northside of town.

Recommended Route:
Warm up on the Green trail and then go for the blue

Reviewed by: BigDaddy , from Buford, Ga.

Summary:
This is the only trail I have found in the area near my workplace. It is a good short trail that I can hit at lunch time for a little fun and excercise. The lower loop is relatively flat with only a few easy switch backs. The Blue loop takes you up a fairly steep incline leading to a picnic table and rest area at the top of the hill. The down hill route is pretty quick and has multiple turns and switchbacks. The trail overall has a few technicals for the beginners (stumps, roots & rocks). I will definitely be riding this trail on a regular basis.

Recommended Route:
Start on the lower loop (green) as a warm up and then hit the upper loop (blue) for a slightly more aggressive ride.

Reviewed by: Nailbiter , from RAMBO-Rosw/Alph MTB Org.

Summary:
This trail is a short training loop consisting of many twists and turns to maximize the available area. The outer loop is easy, the inner loop slightly more challenging. Try several loops to get a decent workout. Also the outer loop is a good place for beginners to get started. It was designed as a basic urban trail to allow riding within the city limits -GREAT for what it is, but go to N.Ga. if you want technical. Come here if you only have an hour after work and want to get in some mountain biking.

Recommended Route:
Follow the signs. Pedestrians and bikers go in opposite directions. One way in/out so impossible to get lost (unless you get stuck in the infinite loop).

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Join RAMBO/SORBA.
