The park also has over 20 miles of walking trails and a swim beach. Our builders in Athens recommend the North Oconee River Greenway, a wonderful place for jogging or walking. The walkway has panels along the way that tell much about the history of Athens. There are also plenty of picnic spots. The downtown area is also pet friendly and can allow your entire family to walk through your new home town while allowing your dog to get some exercise.
