Images: Johns Creek’s sweet downtown trail system, boardwalk arrivesJosh GreenFri, 04/24/2026 - 16:21Like north OTP brethren Alpharetta and Suwanee before it, Johns Creek is adding a sweeping multi-use trail as part of a growing slate of centralized attractions designed to help establish identity. As city officials relayed this week, the new elevated trail weaves for nearly a mile along a creek and through woods before linking with The Boardwalk at Town Center, a key feature of the Fulton County city’s planned 20-acre city center.   The trail also links with the large-scale (and growing) Medley development, which is scheduled to deliver its first mixed-use phase in October. A connection to the city’s existing Johns Creek Greenway is also coming. The mile-long trail as it heads north toward The Boardwalk at Town Center and the under-construction Medley development.

(Oh oh oh oooooh-oh, oh oh, oh ohhhh.) In the gallery above, find a closer look and quick tour of the new northern-suburbs amenity. **…**Follow us on social media:Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram  • Johns Creek news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)Tags11360 Lakefield DriveJohns Creek GreenwayThe Boardwalk Town CenterBridge Pedestrian Crossing & TunnelEast Johns CrossingBoy Band ReviewMedleyToro Development CompanyOTPAtlanta SuburbsAtlanta DevelopmentAtlanta ConstructionJohns Creek NewsJohns Creek DevelopmentJohns Creek ConstructionDowntown Johns CreekAtlanta Suburban DevelopmentNorth Atlanta SuburbsAtlanta TrailsJohns Creek TrailsNorth OTPImagesThe mile-long trail as it heads north toward The Boardwalk at Town Center and the under-construction Medley development.
