Best Bike Trails in the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area
Whether it’s winter or spring, biking is a great outdoor activity. The National Heritage Area has over 34 miles of bike trails stretching from historic downtown Lithonia all the way to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. As you bike, you’ll see lakes, meadows, forests, rivers, historic sites and more.
The trails are an important part of the community and well-designed to create a family friendly environment for thousands of joggers, walkers, bikers, and skaters from all walks of life to escape the roads and hit the trails for travel and recreation.
