Polk County

The Silver Comet Trail in Polk County has several historical locations including downtown Rockmart, and the restored Cedartown Depot. One of the trail's most spectacular attractions is an 800-foot antique railroad tunnel constructed in 1912. Brushy Mountain Tunnel is in Paulding County, but is about 2.6 miles east of Coot's Lake Trailhead.
