On the trail's western end, you'll find a trailhead at Oakdale Park (4160 Atlanta Road). Also nearby is the Mavell Road Trailhead (4573 Mavell Road SE) at the starting point of the Silver Comet Trail. Both trailheads offer parking, restrooms, and water fountains. Another trailhead with parking only is available on Gaylor Street SE (near S. Cobb Drive).
The Cumberland connector serves a vital function by making Silver Comet more accessible to surrounding areas. It is essentially a very wide two-lane sidewalk with dedicated street crossings. It makes it easy to ride a bike at a higher speed with sufficient room for passing other trail users. This type of trail should be emulated throughout Atlanta to facilitate commuting by bicycle off the overly congested roads.
