The Firefly Trail is a community-driven rail-trail in progress. When complete, it will stretch about 39 miles between Union Point and Athens, Ga., connecting three counties and seven towns with a wide, paved, off-road path for walking, running, cycling and rolling that celebrates the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch, the state’s first chartered railroad.
 March 28th will be the Inaugural Classic City Duck Race in the Oconee River at Dudley Park. The owner of the fastest duck wins $1,000 and ducks are only $5 each! Inflatables, food, beer and fun 10AM - 3PM. CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR DUCKS TODAY AND SUPPORT THE FIREFLY TRAIL!  Our plan to ensure that no duck is left behind:
- The blue lines represent our main containment zone and are designed to funnel the ducks to shore where the finish line will be. By directing the flow of ducks to shore rather than finishing in the middle of the river it will facilitate removing ducks from the water quickly and efficiently. - The red lines represent paddlers who will travel behind the main heard of ducks to begin the river clean up and remove stragglers and the one close to the orange net is for any ducks who slip past the main containment area - The orange line is a net running across the river and is our last line of defense. - Yellow circles are the ducks and will be piled up on shore for a final count to ensure that every duck that went in the river comes back out.
