Hiram Trailhead is at mile marker 14.66 on the Silver Comet Trail and has good parking. Homer Leggett Park is next to the trailhead and has nice restrooms, water, covered picnic tables, a dog park, and a playground. An original train caboose is located in the trailhead parking lot and serves as a Sheriff station for the deputies that patrol the trail.

The trailhead is located in the city of Hiram. The large Thomas Concrete plant is east of the Hiram Trailhead, and you can see interesting building materials and equipment from both sides of the Silver Comet Trail. There's plenty of near-by shopping including a Walmart, gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and banks.

The Silver Comet is a paved pedestrian rail-trail located 13 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. It is 61.5 miles long, free of charge, and travels through Cobb, Paulding, and Polk counties. This quiet, non-motorized trail is for walkers, hikers, bicyclists, rollerbladers, horses, dog walkers, and is mostly wheelchair accessible.

The Silver Comet starts at the Mavell Toad Trailhead in Smyrna, Georgia, and it ends at the Georgia/Alabama state line near Cedartown and the Esom Hill Trailhead. At the Georgia/Alabama state line, the Silver Comet Trail connects to the 33-mile long Chief Ladiga Trail. Both the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga are fully paved rail-trails built on abandoned railroad lines. The combined Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga trail length is estimated to be 94.5 paved miles from Smyrna, Georgia to Anniston, Alabama.
