Biking Trails Near Me: Where to Ride in Dunwoody

• Dunwoody's bike network is bigger than it looks. The city has built out shared-use paths, cycle tracks, bike lanes, and signed routes, and it publishes a Dunwoody bike and trail map so you can plan a route before you leave the house.
• Brook Run Park is the ride to know. A 1.8-mile multi-use trail wraps Dunwoody's largest park, 110 acres of skate park, disc golf, turf fields, and shade.
• The Dunwoody Trailway connects the dots. A connector at the back of Brook Run carries you to Pernoshal Park and on toward Georgetown Park and Two Bridges Park. The city notes that riding both park trails adds up to a 5K.
  
• The Cherry Hill Path is the newest stretch. A 10-foot concrete multi-use connector between the Eidson Road and Cherry Hill Lane cul-de-sacs, open to the public since fall 2025.
  
• Weather is not a dealbreaker. CycleBar Dunwoody on Ashford Dunwoody Road moves the ride indoors when the forecast has other plans.
  
• The ride is only half the day. Dunwoody's parks and recreation, shopping, dining, and hotels are all minutes from the trail, which is what turns a morning ride into a weekend.

Dunwoody sits about ten miles above Atlanta in the Atlanta-Perimeter area, and its reach has been quietly growing for years. The city’s bicycle network now takes in shared-use paths, cycle tracks, bike lanes, and signed routes, with newer projects focused on paths separated from car traffic. A 2020 city ordinance also allows cyclists of any age to ride on sidewalks as long as they yield to people on foot, which makes short neighborhood hops a lot less stressful. If you want the full picture before you clip in, the city publishes a Dunwoody bike and trail map, and Bike Walk Dunwoody hosts easygoing community rides for riders of every speed.

Here is where to point your handlebars first. For a wider look at what else is out there on foot, our guide to the best trails in Dunwoody covers the rest of the network.

The Brook Run Park trail is the one to know. At 110 acres, Brook Run is the largest park in Dunwoody, and the multi-use trail that rings it runs 1.8 miles past a 27,000-square-foot skate park, a disc golf course, turf fields, a community garden, and an amphitheater. It is well used and genuinely pleasant, the kind of ride where you can go around a few times and still find something new to look at. Find it at 4770 North Peachtree Road, and see how it stacks up in our ultimate guide to parks in Dunwoody.

Head to the back of Brook Run, and a trail connector carries you onto the Dunwoody Trailway toward Pernoshal Park at 4575 North Shallowford Road. The city points out that completing both the Brook Run and Pernoshal trails equals a 5K, which makes this the easiest way to turn a short spin into a real ride. Pernoshal itself is a good place to stop: five acres with a pavilion, restrooms, basketball and pickleball courts, and an open field. From here the Trailway continues toward Georgetown Park and, farther on, Two Bridges Park in Perimeter Center.

The Cherry Hill Path is the newest piece of the puzzle, a 10-foot-wide concrete multi-use trail connecting the Eidson Road and Cherry Hill Lane cul-de-sacs. It opened to the public in fall 2025; it is ADA compliant, and it is a short, purposeful connector rather than a destination ride. Locals will recognize the value right away: it stitches two neighborhoods together without sending anyone out onto a main road. It also pairs nicely with a longer morning spent in Dunwoody’s best green spaces.

Georgia summers are honest about what they are, and August afternoons in the Atlanta-Perimeter area do not always cooperate with a ride outside. That is where Dunwoody’s indoor option earns its keep.

CycleBar Dunwoody

CycleBar Dunwoody is an indoor cycling studio at 4794 Ashford Dunwoody Road, minutes from Perimeter Mall and the hotels around it. Classes are set to a curated playlist in a theater-style room, with bikes fitted to you before the lights go down and free parking out front.

It is a good call on a hot afternoon, a rainy one, or any day you want the ride without the traffic. Visitors staying nearby can drop into a class without a membership, and locals can build it into the week when the trails are wet.

Part of the appeal of riding in Dunwoody is how quickly you can get somewhere else. Two of the best bike trails near Atlanta are a short trip from the city line.

Murphey Candler Park

Just south of Dunwoody in Brookhaven, Murphey Candler Park wraps a lake with the Perimeter Trail at Murphey Candler and a Nancy Creek boardwalk section, alongside ballfields, a pool, tennis courts, and picnic shelters at 1551 West Nancy Creek Drive. It is a favorite with families and a natural add-on if you are already out riding, though the trail is popular with walkers and runners too, so plan on an easy pace and a friendly bell.

Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail

When you want the big-city version, the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail delivers. The paved multi-use trail runs 2.4 miles from the edge of Piedmont Park to Reynoldstown, threading past Historic Fourth Ward Park and neighborhoods like Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, and Virginia-Highland. As of June 2026, the BeltLine has 16.7 miles of continuous mainline trail open, so the Eastside is really just your entrance. Best part for anyone based in Dunwoody: the Dunwoody MARTA station and Midtown station are both on the Red Line, so you can leave the car in the deck and ride south.

The ride is a great reason to come, but it is rarely the whole day. Finish at Brook Run, and you are minutes from patios, coffee, and dinner at High Street, Ashford Lane, and Dunwoody Village, plus 200-plus stores at Perimeter Mall when someone in the group has had enough sunshine.

Stretch it into a proper getaway, and you get a morning on the Trailway, an afternoon in the shops, and an evening you did not have to drive home from. Browse places to stay in Dunwoody, then plan your visit. Above Atlanta, the good rides come with a good weekend attached.
