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.
 The proposed design for the Firefly Bridge Over Trail Creek has been revealed! It will bridge the 500-foot gap in the existing trail over Trail Creek at the old Trail Creek/"Murmur" trestle. The recommendation grows out of tremendous public input and detailed discussions involving multiple Athens-Clarke County departments and the Mayor and Commission. The plan is a hybrid design incorporating an exact replacement of the existing trestle with sweeping steel arches supporting new construction on each end.
