Hike, Bike and Paddle from one home base.
Chief Ladiga Trail
The Chief Ladiga Trail is Alabama’s first and longest rail-trail, stretching from downtown Anniston to the Georgia state line. At the border it links directly with Georgia’s Silver Comet Trail, giving riders nearly 90 miles of continuous paved path.
Pinhoti Pizza Company sits just off the trail in downtown Piedmont – the perfect spot to refuel in the middle of a day ride or on a multi-day adventure.
- • Smooth, mostly flat asphalt surface
- • Scenic views of farms, forests, and mountain ridges
- • Access to parks, trailheads, and small towns along the way
Pinhoti Trail
The Pinhoti Trail winds through Alabama and Georgia’s Appalachian foothills, linking forested ridges, rocky overlooks, and wild streams. The route runs just outside of Piedmont, crossing the same landscape you can see from town.
Many hikers use Piedmont as a resupply town and treat themselves to hot pizza, salads, and ice cream at Pinhoti Pizza before heading back into the woods.
- • Nearby trailheads a short drive from our front door
- • Maps and local knowledge posted inside the restaurant
- • Great meet-up spot for shuttles and carpools
Terrapin Creek
Terrapin Creek flows just outside of Piedmont and is a favorite for paddlers across the region. Clear water, gentle shoals, and beautiful scenery make it ideal for families, first-timers, and relaxed float trips.
Local outfitters provide kayak and tube rentals, shuttles, and all the basics you need for a day on the water. When you pull off the creek, swing back through town for pizza, wings, or ice cream to finish your adventure.
- • Easy day-trip from Birmingham, Atlanta, Chattanooga & beyond
- • Combine a morning paddle with an afternoon ride on the Chief Ladiga Trail
- • Group-friendly spot to eat, relax, and plan your next outing
