Cheshire Farm Trail

Location of the trailheads in Intown Atlanta

The Cheshire Farm Trail is a walking trail along the South Fork of Peachtree Creek in Atlanta.^[1]^[2] Ribbon cutting is scheduled for September 2014.^[3]

The trail, costing ca. 1 million US dollars, was funded by Georgia Department of Transportation to appease local residents who were not happy about construction of a flyover for the Georgia 400/I-85 interchange. The trail is named for the Cheshire family, Atlanta pioneers.^[4] Two brothers of the family had homesteads across the creek from each other. The bridge they built gives name to the local thoroughfare Cheshire Bridge Road^[2]
