    Decatur Walking Tours

    Decatur Metro | September 14, 2009

    Active Living’s Dan Magee mentioned this in a comment on Free-For-All Friday, but I followed up with him this morning and got a couple more details about the six walks included in the new “Walking Tours” brochure.  Here they are…

    • The “Mayor’s Walk” is a one mile walk around the downtown area.
    • The “Great Lakes Escape” is a 3 mile loop around the Great Lakes neighborhood.
    • The “Sycamore & More” walk is approx. 4 miles down East Ponce, Glendale and Sycamore.
    • The “Walk Around M.A.K.” is a 3 mile walk across the rail road tracks around McDonough, Adams and Kings Highway
    • The “Agnes Scott & Oakhurst” walk is 4 miles through Oakhurst returning to downtown on Commerce
    • The “To Wilton and Back” walk is a 2 mile down East Ponce in the Northwest area of the city
    • The map also features 34 points on interest throughout the city.

    Maps are available at city hall and the Decatur Recreation Center.

    My wife, dog and I have three standard walking routes: west on Ponce into downtown with a loop at the Square or thru Old Decatur, a walk through Clairemont Heights up to Vidal to Scott and back to Coventry, and the old shorter standby:  up Ponce to Ponce Place thru Clairemont Heights and back to Ponce via Northern.
