Seen along the way are beautiful wetlands, streams, forests, farmlands, and a horizon filled with mountains. The Chief Ladiga Trail is a family oriented pathway that provides a safe, non-motorized way to travel, exercise and relax while enjoying the outdoors.

Just north of Piedmont, Alabama it intersects with the Pinhoti Trail which is a spur of the longest walking path in America - the famous Appalachian Trail.

On September 27th, 2008 the "Chief" was connected to Georgia's Silver Comet Trail completing what is now considered to be the longest paved pedestrian pathway in America. Together the trails are 95 miles long with plans for future extensions and spurs.

Welcome: Cyclists, skaters, runners, walkers, pets on leashes, baby strollers, wheelchairs.
