Welcome to the Henry County Trails Plan home page. This is the central site where you will find current and uptodate information on the planning process and how you can get involved and provide feedback to the planning team. We encourage you to check back often for information on upcoming activities and public meetings. Henry County is also working on a Transportation Plan that is being prepared along with this plan. Please visit their website here. Plan Overview The Henry County Trails Plan was a recommendation from the previous (2016) Transportation Plan. The intent of this planning process will be to establish an overall framework for a countywide trail network. Certain high priority projects will be identified for a more detailed analysis. These “Model Miles” will establish a preferred alignment, assess environmental hurdles and risks, a create a typical section. Once complete they will be ready for grant funding with an eye toward rapid implementation. In addition, the plan will create a recognizable branding for the trail network that will be used for signage along the trails as on the internet. Get Involved!

Get Involved Past Events Representatives from the Henry County Transportation Plan and Trails Plan Stakeholder Committee, Project Management Committee, and Henry County Board of Commissioners participated in a guided tour of Dekalb County’s S. Peachtree Trail by Park Ranger Jonah McDonald. The trail connects Dekalb County’s Mason Mill Park and Medlock Park and spans several neighborhoods along the North Fork Peachtree Creek. They continued the field trip with a self-guided tour of the South River Trail’s West Trail adjacent to Georgia State University's Perimeter College. The West Trail follows the South River through the Sugar Creek Golf Course, several neighborhoods, under Bouldercrest Road and ends at Intrenchment Creek Park. Both trails provided excellent examples of how paved greenway trails can seamlessly be incorporated within residential areas.
