Self-proclaimed foodie and adventurer, Jessica loves to explore Gwinnett and all the great dining, shopping, activities and events the area has to offer. When she's not telling you guys what dishes to try or where to be, she's reading, spending time outdoors or catching up on the latest Netflix original series (who else loved Stranger Things??).

If you feel the need to get out, check out some of Gwinnett's best local trails and stretch your legs. There are many different parks with great trails to walk, run or bike on. Get outside and enjoy the warm weather while we still have it.

George Pierce Park

Part of the Ivy Creek Greenway, you'll find a great 2.5 mile walking trail at George Pierce Park. If you're up for a longer walk or run, this path also connects to the Suwanee Greenway.

Harbins Park

If you like mountain biking, you'll find 13 miles of trail here. Harbins Park also has 7 miles of equestrian trails and 4.5 miles of hiking trails.

McDaniel Farm Park

If you're looking for a scenic walk, this is the place to be. McDaniel Farm Park offers 3 miles of paved multi-purpose and soft surface trails. A farm-themed playground was recently added so this park gets extra points for families looking to walk/run with stroller-age kids.

Rhodes Jordan Park

Warm up for a game of tennis with a 1.9 mile walk or run on the paved multi-purpose trails at Rhodes Jordan Park.

Of course, there are so many more parks than what's listed here. I hope you'll get out and enjoy a few of them. Be sure to check the Gwinnett County Parks and Rec page for closures and up to date information.
