Description

Heading north from the start of the greenway, this trail winds through the woods then passes downtown Athens on the east side. This is a very easy hike with a few small hills, accompanied by a few good views.

The greenway ends at the Sandy Creek Nature Center, where it can be connected to the Sandy Creek Nature Center Loop or even Cook's Trail for a longer outing.
