Blankets Creek Bike Trails Ribbon Cutting is Tuesday

Cherokee County leaders and mountain bike trails enthusiasts will gather at one of the most popular attractions in the southeast to commemorate much-needed renovations.

Cherokee Recreation and Parks Agency will host a ribbon cutting at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Blankets Creek Mountain Bike Trails on Sixes Road near Holly Springs. 

Along with CRPA, elected officials and representatives with the Woodstock chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association, or SORBA, will be on hand for the ribbon cutting. 

Some of the improvements at the park include an increased-capacity parking lot, a re-aligned and paved entrance, four brand new restrooms/changing rooms, two new pavilions, a bike wash station, and landscape and hardscape improvements.

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services will also show off their new fire rescue boat and ATV/trailer, which are in high demand in remote locations, including the mountain bike trails.

The park is located about two miles west of I-575. If you're traveling northbound on the interstate take Exit 11 and turn left onto Sixes Road. Go about 1.8 miles and the trail head will be on the left.
