GATR is working on a proposal with GCPR on improving the current trail system known as ‘Taco Stand’ at Tribble Mill Park in Lawrenceville.
The main goal of our proposal is to improve the existing trail system around the area known as Taco Stand, using a number of small reroutes, some pieces of hand built new trail, and full rehabilitation of any old, unused trail.
What we are ultimately aiming for here is better use of the natural contours of the land, with diversion away from the major water and erosion problem areas – resulting in a more safe, sustainable, and easily maintained trail system.
We are also proposing a more linear trail system here that provides easier navigation for beginners and less conflict with the existing ‘runner specific’ trail. And to top all of this off, we’re aiming for a moderate increase to the bike trail mileage, and a trail that has a much better flow and fun factor!
We are currently working through the approval process with Gwinnett County. As soon as everything is approved we will announce work party volunteer days here on the website.
Please see below here for a visual guide to the proposal.

I rode the new (raw) trail sections for the first time on Tuesday. They flow very nicely. GATR is doing a great job. Thanks for the maps showing what is to come. When completed, these will be a proud addition. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your comments “Mtn Goat Man” ! :)
We’re really excited about the new trails at Tribble Mill. Still a lot of work to do but with the help of our volunteers we will get there hopefully by the end of April.
