Summer Biking in the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area
Summer is here – and that means that it’s time to get outside! 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 for you to get a cool breeze and a fun workout, even on hot days.
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.
Here’s a map of some of the best, least crowded trailheads for biking (as well as walking, jogging, and more) in the NHA:
