Rogers Bridge Trail

Rogers Bridge Trail
January 30, 2019 by Shawn Taylor in parks
Note: This location will be closed from March 1, 2021 until construction is completed (estimated late summer 2022).

This site consists of a multi-use path (former road) that’s about a mile long, plus an unpaved trail around a retention pond. The fields on either side of the paved trail are open but with no formal paths through them. This is an excellent site for birding.

While the park borders the Chattahoochee River, there is barely any river view from the park.

There are plans to create a 195-acre city park – to be called Cauley Creek Park – to be located on this site, with construction beginning early in 2021.

Please note the potential confusion with Rogers Bridge Park in Duluth, across the river from this trail. The bridge is no longer operational, so the sites are quite far apart by road. Part of the construction project beginning in 2021 will be to reconnect the sites via a pedestrian bridge.
