Eastside Trail

Running 2.5 miles from downtown Covington to Eastside Highschool, the Eastside Trail is Newton County's newest multi-use greenway trail. Opened in early 2013, the 10-foot-wide concrete path begins off Ramsey Drive in Covington, just west of the Newton County Public Library. The first .6 miles meander through a woodland area behind the library and the Newton County Health Center. After winding gently though the woods over rolling terrain, the trail drops down to cross Martin St at the intersection with Hazelbrand Rd. The trail features four wooden boardwalk sections that traverse forest wetlands and a tunnel beneath the Covington Bypass Rd that allows pedestrians and cyclists to pass safely beneath the traffic overhead. On the east side of the bypass, the trail continues east and then runs between pasture land and woods south to the high school. At the northern endpoint parking is available behind the Newton County Health Center (8203 Hazelbrand Rd NE, Covington, GA 30014). Visitors walk through Chimney Park to access the Eastside Trail. At the southern endpoint visitors can park at Eastside High School (10245 Eagle Drive, Covington, GA 30014) when school is not in session.

Well maintained paved bike path. Shaded 2 1/2 miles til it dead ends. Easy to miss entrance if not paying attention.

Came in this week and was helped by the most amazing young man. He was very knowledgeable and helpful as we perused the wonderful fare at this amazing little shop. Curren made us feel right at home. We will be back, for all of our "oil and vinegar" needs, and will tell all of our friends about this great little place off the square.

Seven of us went to Wildart to paint, we got to choose what we wanted to paint and Ann started sketching and instructing. She was very attentive to make sure we understood each step. Suggested color variations. Just an overall fun experience with friends.
