Bob Callan Trail Project Fact Sheet

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Bob Callan Trail is a pristine connection for the Cumberland community to national parkland at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). The unspoiled river and walking trails within an otherwise urban environment, provide biking, hiking, and recreational amenities directly for the Cumberland community, and connects regional trail systems such as Cobb County and the northwest Atlanta market.

• The entire Bob Callan 4-mile trail, once complete, will rival any north Georgia mountain experience, but lies around 10 miles from the Atlanta Beltline Trail and downtown Atlanta in the heart of the Cumberland community in Cobb County.

• The center portion will continue the user experience from the Bob Callan Trailhead (Interstate North Parkway & Cumberland Blvd.) approximately one mile north to Interstate North Parkway just slightly south of Windy Hill Road.

o Trail length = one mile o Will construct six boardwalk sections, totaling approximately

1,300 feet in length o One steel truss bridge spans a small creek tributary o One overlook for viewing the shoals at the Assurant property

o Resting areas with benches at each end of trail.

• An estimated $18.7 million total project cost
