The Man O' War Railroad Recreation Trail carries the name of the famous racehorse and the diesel passenger train that once traveled through Pine Mountain between Columbia and Atlanta.
The trail conveniently begins in downtown Pine Mountain, where trail users can find parking, bike parking, and refreshments. It then travels along the converted railroad right-of-way sandwiched between US 27/ Main Street and Commerce Avenue. The trail goes through the town and out the southern end, peeling away from the road at about the mile mark, where it starts to become more shrouded with trees. The trail currently comes to an end along Mobley Rd, but further phases will see it expanded. Harris County had acquired 21 miles of unused railway for future conversion into trails.
