Acworth's walkability is limited, largely confined to the central historic downtown area with its charming but small walkable core. Beyond that, the spread-out nature of the city and the lack of continuous sidewalks make walking challenging for daily activities. Travelers will find it difficult to navigate without a car, as most amenities are not within walking distance. While there are some charming areas for a stroll, the car-dependent layout significantly limits the city’s overall walkability.

Acworth offers some public transit options, though they are quite limited. Bus routes such as CobbLinc and Xpress provide connections to Atlanta and other nearby areas, but service frequency may be low, and coverage within Acworth isn't comprehensive. For travelers relying heavily on public transport, reaching various locations or adhering to a flexible schedule might be difficult, as services might not align well with individual plans. Public transit is more geared towards commuters, with options focusing on peak travel times to and from Atlanta.

Acworth presents moderate opportunities for cycling, particularly recreationally, thanks to the Acworth Trail System and nearby biking trails. However, biking for everyday purposes like errands or commuting is less convenient due to the lack of dedicated bike lanes and the hilly terrain. The city is making efforts to expand its trail network with projects like the Cowan Road Multi-Use Trail, but for now, bike infrastructure remains somewhat underdeveloped, making it less ideal for daily biking needs. Travelers interested in cycling can enjoy scenic routes, though safety can be a concern in traffic-heavy areas.
