Located near I-285 and South Cobb Drive,
the Mavell
Road trailhead is the official starting
point of the Silver Comet Trail. The Silver
Comet is 12.8 miles long in Cobb County.
It travels through Smyrna, Mableton, and
Powder Springs. Cobb County has nice restrooms,
benches along the trail, emergency phones,
water fountains, red lights, and picnic
tables. The Cobb County Police Department uses
various vehicles to patrol the trail during
the day. Police cars patrol at night. The
park hours are "open from dawn to dusk",
and it's strictly enforced. Tickets for
violating hours are expensive, so plan to
be off the trail once it starts getting
dark. Even though the trail is patrolled,
people are encouraged to travel together
and follow safety practices. NOTE: The first 5 miles of the trail in
Smyrna and Mableton are often crowded, and
speed limits protect pedestrians.
