The Reinhardt College Trails
Reinhardt College resides on 540-acres located minutes from the
North Georgia Mountains. The woodlands surrounding the College have
been a source of recreation and study ever since the College's first
years. The campus is host to a number of outdoor recreational
activities and resources which include a nature trail overlooking
beautiful Lake Mullenix and a system of interconnected mountain bike
trails.
The Nature Trail
The nature trail creates a scenic 1mile loop that serves to link the
modern, automobile-bound urban society with times long lost in the
city, times when the pedestrian encountered a native animal and
plant environment. The nature trail leads to an environment, where
the sights, sounds and scents reminds one of times past, promoting
an escape from urban life. Along the trail there are number of
wooden benches which overlook the lake. The trail head for the
nature trail can be found underneath an archway by the Samuel C.
Dobbs Building.
The nature trail exists and is maintained thanks to Reinhardt
College with special thanks going to the Reinhardt College Biology
Department, Reinhardt Circle K, and local Boy Scout Troops.
This trail is called The Nature / Botany Trail by the Department of Math and
Science.
The Mountain Bike Trails
As North Georgia is considered a mountain biking Mecca it is fitting
that Reinhardt College has designed a system of trails specifically
for mountain bikers. These exclusive mountain bike trails take
riders on a 5-mile system of interconnected trails located on
College property that can be enjoyable year-round offering gorgeous
views and excellent terrain for mountain biking, hiking and running.
The trails are located just minutes from the center of campus and
are open for college students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The
trails are open to the public, but use by individuals and groups not
associated with the College is handled on a case by case basis.
