The Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department announces that the next section of the Firefly Trail is now open to public.

This section is a continuation of the Firefly Trail, from the intersection at Hancock Road and Spring Valley Road to just past Taylor and Lane and Spring Valley Road. This part adds approximately 2.5 miles of paved trail before hitting the current dead end. The remaining portion of the trail will eventually connect to the Winterville section of the Firefly Trail.

The Firefly Trail is a planned 39-mile rail-trail from Athens to Union Point in Northeast Georgia, connecting Athens-Clarke, Oglethorpe, and Greene Counties. Athens-Clarke County hosts nearly seven miles of the Firefly Trail in the county.

The historic rail line, known as the Athens Branch of the Georgia Railroad, branched off the still-active Augusta-to-Atlanta line in Union Point and passed through the towns of Woodville, Maxeys, Stephens, Crawford, Arnoldsville and Winterville on its way to Athens.

For more information on the Firefly Trail, please visit www.accgov.com/firefly or call (706) 613-3620.
