The Ivy Creek Greenway is a multi-use trail and greenway in Gwinnett County, Georgia, connecting areas of Buford and Suwanee in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The trail provides a non-motorized corridor linking parks, neighborhoods, and commercial areas, including Mall of Georgia and George Pierce Park.
The greenway follows portions of Ivy Creek and is part of a broader network of shared-use paths and greenways in northern Gwinnett County, Georgia. These trails improve walkability, support active transportation, and connect major destinations without requiring automobile travel.
The Ivy Creek Greenway opened in stages beginning in the late 2000s as part of Gwinnett CountyâÂÂs developing greenway network.
In 2014, a section opened that included two boardwalks, an overlook, and a cable bridge spanning Ivy Creek.
Additional extensions have been funded to improve connections between parks and commercial areas.
On February 27, 2018, the greenway was designated as one of the signature trails in the Gwinnett County Trails Master Plan.
The Ivy Creek Greenway was developed as part of Gwinnett CountyâÂÂs effort to expand a network of multi-use trails connecting parks, neighborhoods, and commercial centers. Funding has been supported through the countyâÂÂs Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) program.
County planning documents identify the trail as an important corridor linking the Suwanee Creek Greenway and other planned greenways in northern Gwinnett County.
The greenway generally follows Ivy Creek through wooded areas and wetlands. The trail includes boardwalks, a cable bridge, and creek crossings designed to minimize environmental impact. It connects residential areas with parks, commercial districts, and educational sites such as the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center.
The Ivy Creek Greenway can be accessed from public trailheads at Mall of Georgia and George Pierce Park, both of which provide parking and restrooms.
The trail is designed for pedestrians and cyclists, forming part of Gwinnett CountyâÂÂs expanding greenway network. Local trail connections allow residents to reach parks, neighborhoods, and commercial destinations without a car, supporting walkability and active transportation.
The Ivy Creek Greenway is part of a growing network of trails in northern Atlanta metropolitan area supporting recreation, environmental conservation, and non-motorized transportation. Future connections include the Suwanee Creek Greenway to the south and additional planned extensions to the north.
