Big Creek is a pretty nice trail network in Roswell GA. It's easy to get to and popular, bordering on crowded. The trails are well worn and very easy to follow. The park contains trails of various difficulty and a freeride park. All difficulty levels are well marked and straightforward. All in all, this trail is nice, but it lacks flow. Trail surface in some stretches is nothing but non-native rocks. The trail in these areas is bumpy and slow.
The entire trail isn't rock covered, however. The trail travels through a nice wooded area that made me feel a lot farther away from highway 400 then I actually was. The trail winds throughout the wooded area and is an enjoyable ride. Overall, I liked the trail and would definately ride it again. It has a little bit more to offer in the way of nature watching and seculsion than the central park MTB trail. It's got nothing on blankets creek though.
One of the best things about my day on this trail was the wildlife. I got to Big Creek about 3:45 and left around dusk. During the last ten to fifteen minutes of my ride I ran into a group of deer, counting eleven. They were so close and didn't spook, and it was a pretty sight.
