Noonday Creek Trail in Woodstock

The Noonday Creek Multi-Use Trail in Cobb County, Georgia is a seven-mile (11 km) continuation of the Mountain to River Trail in Kennesaw. Its southwest end is at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Old 41 Highway and Stilesboro Road.^[1] Much of the trail runs alongside Noonday Creek. Noonday Creek Trail connects Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park to Town Center Mall, and its north eastern trailhead is at 3015 Bells Ferry Road, Marietta, GA 30066.

There is a 0.73 mile segment of multi-use trail north from the trailhead on Bells Ferry Road. This trail is alongside Bells Ferry Road between the trailhead and Big Shanty Road to the north. It turns westward at Big Shanty Road with its other end at the intersection of Big Shanty Road and Chastain Meadows Parkway.

The trail south of Kennesaw Mountain is Mountain-to-River Trail, which can be followed through Marietta and part of Smyrna.
