The paved trail will accommodate walkers, runners and cyclists and will be Americans with Disabilities Act accessible. The pathway will also feature emergency call boxes, cameras and lighting. Some 827 acres of open land, including the county’s Lake Mayer/Bacon Regional Park tract and the city’s 77-acre Daffin Park, will be accessible from the trail—a truly remarkable achievement. In addition, the trail will be a recreational and transportation asset for the whole community.
The six-mile public trail, which parallels the Truman Parkway and Casey Canal, will link Daffin Park on Victory Drive to Lake Mayer Park on Montgomery Cross Road. The trail is part of Tide To Town, Savannah’s Urban Trail System. This system will be a protected network of walking and bicycling trails connecting all of Savannah’s neighborhoods, from the heart of the city to our marshes and waterways. Tide To Town will serve every aldermanic district within the City of Savannah, with the potential to expand to unincorporated Chatham County, Tybee Island, Garden City, Thunderbolt, Bloomingdale, and Port Wentworth, integrating with long distance walking and bicycling trails like the East Coast Greenway.
If you get hungry while on the trail, be sure to stop by the restaurant at Cohen’s Retreat, located at 5715 Skidaway Road, just off the Truman Parkway Bike Path.
Cohen’s Retreat features lunch from Tuesday to Friday, dinner Tuesday through Saturday, a Saturday Brunch from 10am – 3pm. Don’t forget about Happy Hour at the bar from 5pm – 7pm, Thursdays 5pm – 9pm.
After you’ve eaten, drop by the Brown Dog Market, located in the south wing of Cohen’s Retreat. Brown Dog Market houses a wide variety of products from local art and handmade goods to home decor and specialty gifts.
Their vision is to gather beautifully created designs and share them with their guests in a casual market setting. There’s always something new to discover in the Brown Dog Market!
Just 10 minutes from downtown Savannah, Cohen’s duplex cottages offer guests a quiet place to relax after enjoying a ride or walk on the Truman Parkway or to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Savannah.
Each cottage comes with an interior space to relax in the rain, and outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine. Cottages come in Queen and Double Twin sizes and contain kitchenettes for the full “Home away from home” experience!
