About Greenways

Greenways provide opportunities for individuals to experience nature in a variety of ways while linking parks, neighborhoods, points of interest, and activity centers. The North Oconee River Greenway is a 3.5 mile long, bicycling and walking path that is open sunrise to sunset.  The Greenway path is open to all types of non-motorized uses and dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash. Currently, the North Oconee River Greenway connects with Cook's Greenway Trail at Sandy Creek Nature Center and follows the North Oconee River south toward downtown Athens and the University of Georgia.  The Oconee Rivers Greenway Commission provides oversight for project construction, program management and the development of the community-wide Greenway Network Plan.
