Description

Dwelling Loop is a great intermediate trail with longer, mellow climbs and descents. The route has a more open corridor with a few tight tree gates. The route is fairly smooth with some roots and a few rocks. Riders will get into a good rhythm following the contour of the hillside above Allatoona Lake.

Dwelling Offers multiple route options to cater to a wide skill range, fitness level, and time you have to spend on the trail.

Dwelling Loop connects well with South Loop, either by a short connector near trail marker 520 or via Schultz's Chute.
