The rails have been removed, and this wide paved walkway is busy in the area of the Krog Market. Many of the old structures have been torn down, tho a few remain containing shops of all kinds. New apartments and condos are along the beltway with restaurants galore. Artwork on the buildings and under the bridge is stunning. The beltway is definitely a place to walk, ride a bicycle or skateboard. Just be considerate of others. Check it out.
It was time for a Brother/Sister Day along with the option to burn some calories. As such, we ended up on the Beltline. I typically enter near the Ponce side as there is always somewhere to park. Once on, it's a stroll up for about 2.5 miles, then back for 2.5 miles. This is the side of the trail that is super high energy, very family friendly, and always full off traffic during the weekend. Though it can be tight at times, it's worth it. The culture rich experience is super vibrant. There is typically a vendor or two on the trail, they had a DJ setup at one of the container locations along the line, and of course, when you get to the shops and foodie filled areas, you have the chance to indulge in a moment of pleasure, before getting back to the burn. LoL! Regardless of the reason, whether it be to exercise, walk and talk, see the sights, or just enjoy the weather. The Eastside Beltline is def an amazing time and I would recommend it for any reason. P. S. I hope you're not afraid of dogs as there are plenty along the route. Yes, they are on a leash.
This paved trail looks like right of way for an abandoned railway. It's been rendered into a reasonably wide thoroughfare. It goes through a lot of independently worthy destinations, making it relatively easy to find one place to park and get to some other places without having to utilize a car too much. Being asphalt and largely uncovered, it is on the hotter side on a summer day. Notably, there were a good amount of access points to the path with elevators in some spots. The trail itself doesn't offer a ton in terms of water, bathrooms, seating and such, though people set up lemonade stands and such in some of the wider parts. But you won't have any trouble finding something.
The Atlanta Beltline is a multi-use rail trail located in the core of Atlanta, Georgia. With a full loop around the city along with access spurs and connections to other trails, the Atlanta BeltLine will ultimately create a 33-mile trail network linking more than 40 neighborhoods, multiple public parks, and mass transit stations in Atlanta and its immediate surrounds. With more than half of its trail length open for permanent or interim use, the BeltLine has already made its mark on Atlanta, offering residents an active transportation route to commute, exercise, and hang out. The name "Beltline" and its development is rooted in Atlanta's historic association with railroads. During post-Civil War reconstruction, Atlanta experienced significant population growth, increasing demand for rail infrastructure. In response, a "belt" of railway was proposed to bypass the busy downtown railway system and alleviate rail congestion. The first section of trail opened in 2008. As of this writing, there are six sections of trail that bring the total length to 18.7 miles. My family and I visited the Atlanta Beltline this past summer while we were on a road trip. Our hotel was at Olympic Park, so we grabbed a streetcar outside and rode it towards the Eastside Trail. The trail is just five blocks further from the streetcar line, but plans are underway to connect the two. Although we didn't have our bicycles with us on this trip, it was still fun to walk the beltline and watch all of the people. The trail is heavily traveled by people cycling, jogging, or simply walking. We passed by several cool parks, restaurants, shops, and other various businesses along the way. We walked all the way to the Ponce City Market, which is conveniently connected to the trail. After grabbing some lunch, we walked back the way we came and grabbed a streetcar back to our hotel. A couple of days later, we visited the beltline again and found a place for dinner. We really enjoyed our visits to the Atlanta Beltine and highly recommend anyone visiting the city to go and see it!
I really enjoyed my time at the beltline! I went with my family and we had a great time. We ended up shopping and getting some much needed popsicles to combat the heat. I even bought a book from the bookstore. It was easily accessible because we were staying a short walk away at The Wylie.
I absolutely love the BeltLine. This is one of the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs in the United States, and it's definitely an iconic feature of Atlanta. The Beltline consist of 33 miles of walking and biking paths, and around it you'll find places to eat, drink, shop, and more. Some of my favorite places on the Beltline are: Krog Street Market Ponce City Market (and Skyline Park) Ladybird Guac y Margys Lee + White Monday Night Garage King of Pops More than just walking around it, you can also rent bikes or bird scooter and have more fun. There isn't any designated parking, so I suggest either pay parking at Ponce City Market, or street parking at your own risk. The Beltline is also known as the largest outdoor public art exhibition in the south, and not even completely done yet! Be ready for those IG worthy shots! ESPAÑOL Me encanta la BeltLine. Este es uno de los programas de reurbanización urbana más grandes y de mayor alcance en los Estados Unidos, y definitivamente es una característica icónica de Atlanta. El Beltline consta de 33 millas de senderos para caminar y andar en bicicleta, y a su alrededor encuentras lugares para comer, beber, comprar y más. Algunos de mis lugares favoritos en Beltline son: Krog Street Market Ponce City Market (and Skyline Park) Ladybird Guac y Margys Lee + White Monday Night Garage King of Pops Más allá de simplemente caminar, también puedes alquilar bicicletas o scooters y divertirte más. No hay ningún estacionamiento designado, por lo que sugiero que pague estacionamiento en Ponce City Market o estacionamiento en la calle bajo su propio riesgo. The Beltline también es conocida como la exposición de arte público al aire libre más grande del sur, ¡y aún no se ha terminado por completo!
Once upon a time Atlanta was a flourish city supported by the cotton textile industry. The railway and area along the line is located at the heart of the city, midtown. Now BeltLine has regained a new life. There are many restaurants and bars spreading along the way, if you walk with local people or guide, they can tell you the old life of these buildings - textile mills, warehouses, railroad stations, etc. My last walk on this trail was nine months ago, and I revisit often to feel the pulse of the city. As usual, pedestrians, bikers, scooterists were weaving together along the way, the taverns are still crowded, graffiti figures were updated, so as new metal art sculptures. When reaching at Krog Street Market, I wanted to get a bite, big sign stood at the door indicating that mask was Mandatory. Since I didn't wear a mask, I had to restrain my temptation. But by watching everyone having fun, I felt myself already joined by enthusiasm. The 5 miles walk on historic road was fun and great experience.
It was a hot day but we ventured out to walk the belt line and went people watching. We stumbled across some amazing graffiti and had to strike our poses.
So much fun!! I require my teenagers to participate in "forced family fun" from time to time. Today we rented Bird scooters and had lunch and then took a ride down the BeltLine. What fun! Lots of people out walking, riding bikes, scooters, and spending time with others (not in their phones). One of my kids wished he could go faster, the other thought it was super relaxing and I just had fun chilling with the family. Both kids thanked me and said they had fun......and given that they are teenagers the BeltLine (and the Bird scooters) get 5 stars from me! Tip: if you plan to ride scooters......download the app before you go so you don't bake in the sun while downloading it and I think need one phone per scooter, so everyone needs the app.
Take a Walk to Explore Atlanta's Diversity along the BeltLine What an amazing experience that celebrates the diversity of Atlanta. Brilliant urban planning in a sprawling city to link neighborhoods with a trail that weaves through Piedmont Park to Ponce City Market to the Historic Fourth Ward to Krog Street and more. This was the first section of the Atlanta BeltLine that was completed. It is so interesting to see how the old railroads, factories, and historic neighborhoods are linked with shops, breweries and modern upscale high rises. The long term expansion will interlink The BeltLine to provide 45 neighborhoods 33 miles of interconnected trails. In a few hours exploring the Eastside trail, you can learn about the people that changed history in "Atlanta and the Civil Rights Movement 1944-1968." Unexpected to find this exhibit along the trail. Take the time to stop and read the displays. It was exceptionally well documented. Each neighborhood was unique as well. Loved popping into old buildings transformed into coffee houses, restaurants and shops. Fun to see the skatepark full of life. So many grandmas pushing their grand babies in strollers, yuppies walking their dogs, coeds rollerblading with backpacks, businessmen talking on their cellphones and kids taking a ride on electric scooters before school starts at the end of summer. You can rent bike and scooters along the trail. Grabbed some freebies along the way as well. An apartment complex near Krog Street was giving away King of Pops popsicles. The blackberry ginger lemon was sooo refreshing. Got a Fuze Happy Mango iced tea infused with antioxidants with a book of coupons at the Ponce City Market also for free. Stop into Williams Sonoma as well to see what's cooking or buy a celebrity chef spatula to support the "No Kid Hungry" campaign. Many places to park along the way. Street parking near Ponce City Market was only $2 an hour which is much cheaper than the parking at the Ponce City Market which was $3 for just the first 30 minutes. Felt very safe parked here. Great way to spend a few hours in Atlanta where you almost forget that you are in a sprawling urban city.
Overall I wasn't particularly impressed with the Eastside BeltLine. I'm a seasoned bike rider, but this place is so hopelessly overcrowded with bicycles and their riders that I was very stressed and worried the whole time I was riding there. On the plus side, there are so many things to see that this is a great place to take pictures. There are lots of dogs too; I love dogs, but they add to the bicycle hazard because many dogs are afraid of the bikes and act out. The day I was there the place was very crowded; not only bikes with riders, but pedestrians, families with strollers, and children of all ages. It's nice to see this is such a popular place, but I for one will forgo riding a bike here in the future - it's simply too unsafe.
Cool little labyrinth off the path. I actually saw a lady making this earlier in the year on one of my other runs. There are signs to it from the Beltline. Decided to take a quick existential break---walked in one direction and ran to exit. Feeling better I continued on running to complete 15.2 miles in the Atlanta afternoon heat. Now I'm feeling fairly beat but grateful.
The beltline is a great place to get some exercise and see some great places in Atlanta. It is all very well lit and runs along some great apartment complexes and restaurants, as well as leading past Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market. So there a lot of options to eat and relax along the way. There is also a lot of artwork from local artists across all of the path, so you can check out the local art scene. There is always a lot of activity with people walking, riding bikes, skating, rollerblading and using electric scooters. Most people are nice and are careful not to get close to anyone while they are riding, but it can get congested so keep a eye out. There are many entrances to the path so there is no wrong place to start. There are plenty of spaces to park along the way, though you may have to parallel park so be ready for that. This is also pet friendly so know that there is always a abundance of dogs walking around on leashes. So if you are allergic be aware and if not....there are so many puppies to look at and pet!
Designed by the same team that built the Highline in Chelsea (Manhattan), the Atlanta Beltline is a 22-mile urban walking/jogging/biking trail and park, which encircles central Atlanta. I had the pleasure of walking along a short stretch of it close to Ponce City Market and appreciated the integration of this accessible public space for the community. Aside from the restaurants and retailers directly adjacent to many sections of this path, there are numerous sections dedicated to mural and street art by local artists. There are also tour, fitness and other seasonal activities organized through the Beltline organization, you can sign up on their website (account creation needed). read more
Quality/Quantity - During our Beltline walk, it took us to the Atlanta Dogwood Festival. Too bad they were still setting up, so not many activities for us to enjoy. The Beltline walk itself was okay. Shared with cyclists, who I feel ride way too fast for such a narrow walkway. I can see that fights can happen due to this safety issue, especially if you have young kids walking. We started our walk at Krogers, see other Yelp reviews. Walked by Park Tavern, Ponce Market, etc. Minimum artwork along the path. See my few pictures. A few shaded spots. Atmosphere - See above. 22 miles of multi use trails. I believe this trail used to be a rail line...? Events - See website. Interesting that the goal of the Beltline was to connect neighborhoods, but it might have added to gentrification of the area/areas... Service - Self service. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2005. As of mid-2017, completed trails include: Eastside Trail Northside Trail Southwest Connector Trail West End Trail Westside Trail as well as interim hiking trails. read more
The Eastside Beltline is an awesome trail system that goes through restaurants, bars, and other business. The trail is paved and very well maintained. It is also very wide, but you have to be careful of bicyclist who think they are in the Tour de France, zooming by. It is an excellant use of the space. It consists of 4.6 miles of multi-use trails and a future light rail transit line. On average, the Beltline attracts 3,000 trail users each weekday and over 10,000 users each weekend day. I actually took a scooter up and down the trail. You will find tons of them from Lime, Bird, and Spin. You will also find a few bicyclist on the trail too. This was the first section that was finished from the old rail corridor. It was was funded by a combination of public and private sources and runs from the tip of Piedmont Park to Reynoldstown. In addition to the businesses, you will find some neat murals and sculpture along the trail. The trail seems to be popular among graffiti artist. It looks as if they will be opening some food trailers along the trail very soon. Some notable places along the trail include Ponce City Market, Illuminarium Atlanta, Historic Old Fourth Ward Skatepark, Yay Beignet, Freedom Park and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park is located just 3 blocks from the Beltline. The Beltline has lots of personality and flair. You will find locks of love, placed on a chain link fence on a overpass. The entire 22-mile stretch of the Beltline is forecasted to be completed in 2030. I cannot wait to see what they got planned. You can spend a lot of time on the Beltline, walking, biking, or scooting. There are lots of restaurants and bars to check out along the way too. I really enjoyed the Beltline and I am sure that you will do. read more

Such a neat place to walk! Lots of cool places to stop by like the New Realm Brewery and Ponce City Market. It's got more of a local vibe than a tourist trap, but it has all the makings of a fantastic tourist destination.. at least until it gets saturated by tourists. read more

Get your exercise on Atlanta! The Eastside BeltLine Trail is a fantastic place to go for a nice walk (with or without the pet dog) jog, run, skateboard, or to cycle. Although the whole beltline is not complete yet, after it is it will be 22 miles long. No matter what time of the day, while visiting the trail you can see plenty of people who are using the trail to stay healthy and as someone who is in the health and fitness field, this makes me extremely happy. Last night I was amazed to see how many people there who were using the trail. Throughout the trail there are plenty of really cool art murals displayed by local graffiti artists and there are many sculptures as well displayed throughout the trail. When visiting the trail, just be careful at peak hours, as this place can get extremely busy. Last night I almost got hit by someone on their bike. This is not exactly the best place to ride a road bike at 30 mph+ The trail is safe as well, with the large crowd and the camera stations, it feels safe. Being a guy, I don't worry, but if I had a daughter who came here, I'd feel safe knowing she was here by herself. I'd highly recommend this trail to anyone, plus it is great as it is located right by all the restaurants off Monroe. So after a long day of exercise, there is a place to eat nearby. Stay Healthy Atlanta! [Review #217] read more

What a beautiful day for a nice walk along the Beltline. We left Krog Street Market and decided to drive a little bit to Condesa Coffee so we could traverse between the Beltline and Ponce City Market. The path is full of things to look at and amuse yourself with while walking. From the people walking the paved walkway with you to the intricate graffiti and the local art pieces, it's really hard to get bored. Free parking is pretty difficult at Ponce City Market, but you can always park near the residential areas across the street (NOT the Whole Foods Shopping Center). You can also park near a nearby school closer to Krog Street. There's always a way to find free parking, you just have to walk and work for it. You're already going to be walking the Beltline, what's a few extra steps?? One of my favorite walking trails in Atlanta yet, although it does get busy on weekends. If you're planning on cycling or doing serious running, I advise you avoid the Beltline for that during peak times. read more
Great addition to Atlanta and I look forward to more sections opening. I've used the Beltline for walking numerous times either as part of a longer walk or after visiting one of the establishments along the line. And I've biked it a couple of times. As others have mentioned, during weekend days when the weather's nice, it can get a bit crowded and some people don't seem to act very responsibly. Particularly cyclists who pass too close to people. Hot summer weekdays, you'll just about have the path to yourself. read more
For starters the entire stretch of the belt line is very crowded. Lots of walking & people watching oops but you also have to be really careful to hug the corners of the path & not get run over by the many wheeled variations flying past you. Bikes, roller blades, roller skates, and many others. Wish they'd banned wheels altogether from this spot. Some cute scenic photo opp spots & lots of food options along the way. read more

I could probably spend a whole day on the BeltLine and not get bored. The BeltLine is a great place to check out art while walking, biking, or doing another form of active transportation. There is so much to see! ...and all while getting your exercise in! The art motivates you (or at least me) to keep traveling up/down the BeltLine more and more. There are also food halls/shopping areas and other cool places you can check out along the way... Definitely worth a visit! read more

This trail has a great location since you can make pit stops at Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market along the way. There's also some unique artwork painted under bridges too. It's about two miles one way which makes it a decent workout. I highly recommend this trail for everyone! read more

We enjoyed a pleasant urban family hike along the BeltLine from Krog Street Market to Ponce City Market. It was a hot day and not much was open when we hit the Krog Street Market area at 11:00 am. In fact, some nearby establishments we were hoping to visit (LottaFrutta and Julianna's Coffee and Crepes) are closed on Mondays! So we started the trek to Ponce City earlier than expected. The trail was clean, the art was fun, the tiny door was cute, and Ponce City has some delicious lunch choices. After eating we walked back to Okd Fourth Ward parkto ket the littlest splash around. There wasn't much shade in the area, so we didn't stay there too long. Overall it is was a great way to spend an afternoon. read more

I love love love love the Eastside Beltline Trail. I use it up to 3 times a day, sometimes more. To be honest, my day isn't complete unless I go somewhere via the Beltline. There are so many sites to see on as well as right off the Beltline Trail. Always an interesting array of folks, dogs, artwork, events, activities, and more. Not to mention how very safe it is. I prefer to ride my bike daily right to Inman Park or the Old Fourth Ward, two of my homes away from home. -must get moving now, - so I shall continue this sooner than later. -and add more pics. Always adding pics! :) read more

Go ahead, stalk me. You'll find me here as many days as I'm motivated to run. I live about three blocks away from the Irwin Street entrance and I couldn't be more thankful for this trail. I love Inman Park dearly, but trying to jog on the rickety sidewalks has never been a fun experience. Enter the BeltLine, with a wide, smooth path that doesn't involve me looking down at my feet the whole time without tripping.

I love seeing everyone out and about using the trail, whether they're walking their dogs, getting their toddlers outside, commuting to work, or getting some cardio in. I wish there were more well-marked entrances and exits to surface streets, but those are apparently coming. Lights, too! I can't wait for lights. I consider myself lucky every time I'm able to walk along this trail and breathe in the sights and sounds of the city I love so much. Keep it up, Atlanta. More please! read more
