… between Wieuca and Loridans roads. Note that the extension starts west of Ga 400, making it necessary to cross the bridge over 400 from the previous end east of 400. Well-shaded route through a valley to cross under 400 and a creek en route to Loridans. Still no markers to navigate through the Tower Place area between Peachtree & Lenox roads. Inquire locally for details.
The Old Town Conyers Trail is such a hidden gem! It’s a nice, easy trail that’s perfect whether you’re looking for a peaceful walk, a light workout, or just some time to unwind. There’s so much beautiful nature to take in along the way — from the trees to the quiet surroundings, it really gives you a chance to slow down and enjoy the moment. Definitely a great spot if you want something low-impact but still refreshing and scenic. I’ll absolutely be back! ¿¿
The Harris Greenway could be thought of as three connected trails: the newer section at Harbins, the section at Tribble Mill, and the suburban connection in- between. This middle section is less scenic, but it is arguably the most important as it provides access for the high school and all the neighborhoods to two very nice parks. As a previous reviewer noted, there’s a full loop around the lake at Tribble Mill, and while it’s hilly and curvy, it’s mostly shaded. The surface here is asphalt, and is buckling in some places, but staff have made significant effort to mark these small hazards (as of early fall 2025 when I rode). Tribble Mill has all your standard park amenities and is a great place for a picnic if you’re starting from the other end of the Greenway. The suburban connector has a big hill down to the river, so if you’re not on an ebike, get ready for exercise! The side towards Harbins Park is newer, with rolling hills, a lovely boardwalk and more neighborhood connections. Harbins Park, while lacking the focal point of a lake that Tribble Mill has, is a nice park in its own right. There’s also another couple of miles of paved trail between all the mountain bike trails, and while it’s hilly, it’s completely shaded. I took my ride and pictures in early fall 2025. I meant to share them sooner since this trail had not received as much attention on TrailLink… but people are definitely out using it! I wound probably deduct half a star because I think more could be done to separate/protect the suburban section from the busy road, and there could be better wayfinding at the Tribble Mill section. But the Harris Greenway— with its connection to two nice parks — is a great trail. I drove over from Athens to check it out, and I’m glad I did!
Walked starting from the Gwinnett environmental and heritage center, but couldn’t get to other end of Greenway as planned because they are currently rebuilding a bridge where the trail turns to go toward the Mall of GA. Instead, did the stretch down to the suspension bridge plus the Wildlife Observation Loop Trail and still achieved 4.6 miles. Not sure when the new bridge will open but looks like they are making good progress.
The parking for this trail is in the parking lot for Old Town, but the trail starts 1 block south of old town
Love this trail. Several flowing water creeks to view!
We ride this trail often and can't wait till more is added.
Wonderful trail from Bethelview to Haycon. 7 miles one way 1.5 hours Had lunch in lovely Haycon center and back. So 15 miles total
This, our first ride planned from the TrailLink app was absolutely delightful. The earlier reviews helped us plan our day, parking in the free garage deck was very convenient. The scenery was varied and surprisingly peaceful considering the proximity to Atlanta. We met friendly folks and were able to complete approximately forty miles out and back.
This trail is my absolute favorite. It's so serene and peaceful. It's well maintained. My favorite part is riding the bridge over the Alcovy River. Depending on where you park there's several places to eat, or grab snacks. A great coffee shop in Mansfield called Your Perfect Cup or grab some delicious Ice cream from Marketplace CREAMERY also in Mansfield. Plenty of places to eat and shop in Downtown Covington. Be sure to plan a visit, you will not be disappointed.
Thought I’d provide some clarity here, as the Firefly Trail is pretty disconnected and there are few trail amenities, but it has a lot of potential: Dudley Park near downtown serves as both the trail head of the Athens side and as the nexus for both the Firefly Rail Trail and the North Oconee River Greenway (so you can extend your ride in Athens by adding the Greenway). After parking, follow the trail along the river (or take a shortcut up through the woods) to reach the Firefly Rail Trail. You’ll see a bathroom, water fountain, and picnic pavilion for the park. Just off the trail there’s a bike repair station. Note: restrooms are locked in the evening and the water fountains are winterized in colder months. There’s no lighting on the trail. The Trail Creek aka rebuilt “Murmur” trestle and the bridge over the North Oconee are the highlights here. The Firefly trail is currently in segments spaced far from each other: Athens side - 2.9 miles Winterville - 1.5 miles Maxeys - 1.1 mile Woodville to Union Point - 6.5 miles The shady, three-mile connection between Athens and Winterville should be complete in spring of 2026, provided the final easements can be acquired. None of the other segments have reliable trail amenities and the towns are all very, very small. In Winterville, Pittard Park has bathrooms that may be open. In Woodville, about a mile past the trailhead, there’s public bathroom behind CJ’s BBQ that’s sometimes open. The longest segment of the Firefly Trail is actually from Woodville to Union Point, at just under 7 miles one-way, partially shaded. The Woodville trail head is just a parking lot right now and is easy to miss if you aren’t GPSing it. The trail head at Union Point is pretty but there’s no facilities currently. I recommend a trip into town… “The Point” is a grocery store/restaurant open 7 days a week, even on Easter. For now it’s your best bet for beverages and a snack on this segment. When complete, the Firefly Trail will be about 40 miles from Athens to Union Point. Check back to see the progress.
