The Silver Comet Trail is Georgia’s most ambitious rails-to-trails project. It was named for the Silver Comet passenger train that used the identical route from 1947 to 1968. Now it is a paved, multi-use recreational trail that currently begins in Smyrna, Georgia and runs west through Paulding and Polk counties, then into Alabama’s Chief Ladiga Trail.

The Chief Ladiga Trail is Alabama’s first rails-to-trails project. The 33-mile trail stretches from the Alabama-Georgia state line to Anniston. The Chief Ladiga is on the same rail corridor as the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia. The two are expected to be joined after the Cleburne County section is completed. When the Chief Ladiga and the Silver Comet trails are connected there will be a 90-mile corridor available for non-motorized travel from just west of Atlanta, Georgia to Anniston, Alabama.

The Nantahala River is located in western North Carolina, near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is the most popular river for whitewater rafting and paddling in the Southeastern United States. The word “Nantahala” comes from Cherokee meaning “Land of the Noonday Sun.” The river runs through a narrow and steep gorge stretching eight miles from the main put-in to the take out.
