    If you are just looking for a place to do some walking at lunch, or before or after work, head over to the Suwanee Greenway. It is a real nice walking path.

    Panther Creek trail is about 45 miles north of Buford and is really nice. Includes falls, water slide, and a swimming hole.

    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    you can also head up to Cumming and hike Sawnee mountain.
    Fort Yargo State park in Winder is about 1/2 hour from Buford, 12+ miles of hiking/biking trails.
