Wheelchair Accessibility = ok; gravel parking lot can have ruts; short, paved hill leads down to trail

Coot's Lake Beach Trailhead is at mile marker 33.5 on the Silver Comet Trail, has a porta-toilet, and gravel parking lot. The trailhead is next to Coot's Lake Beach in Rockmart, Georgia. Coot's Lake Beach has public swimming at an affordable price. Coot's Lake Station is a convenience store/gas station that's very close to trailhead.

Located 2.6 miles east from Coot's Lake is the massive, turn of the century railroad tunnel under Brushy Mountain Road. It is at mile marker 30.9 on the Silver Comet Trail. The Coot's Lake section of trail runs through forests, and next to fields. It cuts through large hills exposing impressive rock formations, and makes a worthwhile day trip.
