Michelle Obama Trail — Attraction in Panthersville

Random search for hikes and saw this one. I parked at Georgia State parking lot and trail head, didn’t see any signs saying not to, and i didn’t get harassed for doing so.

That trailhead is now permanently closed, so it’s not very easy to access the trail from that side. It’s a shame that the trailhead was closed...

I absolutely love this walking trail! It's a very peaceful walk, surrounded by the beauty of nature. If you like deer, there are plenty hopping around in the trees! It's a good 4.5 mile walk on the first leg (to Waldrop and back). On the downside, it could be more well kept. There's trash along certain areas of the trail. Also, the leaves and dirt could be blown off the actual trail. I definitely wouldn't recommend wearing shoes you don't want to get dirty. Other than that, it's a...
