Two segments of Phase V of the Big Creek Greenway trailsystem are now open following a ribbon cutting ceremony held on June 3.

For pictures and video of the ribbon cutting ceremony, please click here.

One of the segments of Phase V extends the Greenway from theintersection of Kelly Mill Road and Johnson Road to Canton Hwy. (SR 20), adistance of 2.27 miles. The other segment of Phase V now open originates at theintersection of SR 20 and the Spot Road Connector. That segment travels alongthe Spot Road Connector, Doc Bramblett Road and Spot Road, ending at the SawneeMountain Preserve and Visitor Center, a distance of 2.48 miles.

In the future, an additional one-mile segment of Phase Vwill run parallel to SR 20, connecting all portions of the Greenway. Thissegment will be constructed at a later date as part of the planned GDOTwidening of Canton Hwy.

When complete, Phase V of the Greenway will extend themulti-use trail an additional 5.7 miles from Kelly Mill Road to the SawneeMountain Preserve Visitor Center (4075 Spot Road), making the entire ForsythCounty Big Creek Greenway just over 16.5 miles in length.

Funding for this project was provided by the Parks,Recreation and Green Space Bond & SPLOST.
