Piedmont is easy to navigate and welcoming to trail users. Downtown access points make it simple to arrive, park, and step directly into the Trail Town experience—whether you’re riding, hiking, or paddling nearby.

  • Trail-town start point: Use Downtown Piedmont as your base for food, supplies, and orientation.
