Trail Report: Sope Creek, Atlanta's Urban Singletrack Oasis

Nestled in the heart of East Cobb, Sope Creek offers a unique blend of technical singletrack, historical ruins, and natural beauty, all within minutes of Atlanta’s perimeter.

Just barely OTP, Sope is a daily driver for me to get in some singletrack. It’s extremely tough but fun on a gravel bike, or classic cross country on a mountain bike. A large figure eight with some steep climbs, it’s a good a workout and interesting enough trails to do a few laps.

To get to them you can dodge walkers and get nice views of the hooch on the gravel paths, or do some laps on columns drive with the triathletes.

Overall: it’s really meat-and-potatoes mountain biking, go do some laps, it’s good for you.
