There are actually few resources between Cedartown and the state line.
Some of the stores I go to are:
- Florence Rd Trailhead - 0.3 miles north on Florence Rd to the Texaco station
- Bill Carruth Parkway at the Cobb/Paulding border - 0.3 miles north on Bill Carruth Parkway to Race Track. Access via the side trail at the tunnel on the Cobb/Paulding border.
- Paulding Chamber of Commerce - follow the connector trail east along Hwy 278 to QT, Zaxbys, etc.
- Coots Lake - 100 yards south on Coots Lake Rd to Coots Lake Station
- Vinson Mountain - exit at Vinson Mountain Trailhead onto Vinson Mountain Rd. Go 0.2 miles north to Dunns Quick Stop.
There are several stores in Cedartown including a convenience store 0.5 miles south of the Cedartown Depot but then nothing from Cedartown to the state line. There used to be a store in Easom Hill near the Alabama/Georgia line but the owners were elderly and the store closed. It has left a large gap in rides out that way.
There are surprisingly few stores in Rockmart as well.
Riders might want to ask at
