The newest addition to Athens’ bike paths is The Firefly Trail, a multi-use rails-to-trails project which will extend 39-miles from Athens to Union Point. The first 1-mile segment, including a 500' bridge over the North Oconee River and a connection to the North Oconee River Greenway and Dudley Park, opened in late 2017 and TSPLOST was approved to complete the remainder of the trail within Athens-Clarke County and Winterville, including an iconic bridge over Trail Creek.
