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.
Great turnout for the East Campus Bridge dedication on September 5th. The Hodgson Wind Ensemble brass section played a piece composed by UGA student Cameron Gwynn specifically for the occasion. Prior to the ribbon cutting, Mayor Kelly Girtz spoke about the importance of connecting our community through multi-use trails. This new bridge provides an important new connection from the Greenway and Firefly trails to the UGA Campus, 5 points, and beyond. Thank you to ACC Leisure Services, the ACC Mayor and Commission, UGA, and everyone involved in this project!
