Guests can also rent bikes from Geaux Bikes at Halcyon to enjoy on the trail, or experienced cyclists can join the Alpharetta Wednesday Night Ride Group which meets at Halcyon at 6:20 p.m. for a 23-mile ride through Alpharetta, Milton and South Forsyth followed by food and fellowship back at Halcyon.

While visiting Halcyon and the Big Creek Greenway, all guests are encouraged to act in the best interest of their health and the community. Pre-registration is required for all events to limit the number of participants and allow for social distancing. Complimentary face masks, hand sanitizer and wipes are provided at all Halcyon events.
