Whether for exercise, to capture nature's beauty, or to plan a family hike the Athens Trails have something for everyone.
Our trails are not just a path through nature. These trails have an educational purpose. Our Eagle Trail has a Blackberry Loop where hikers can find a tasty suprise on their hike. Our Wetlands trails have a large range of native flowers and grasses that change during the seasons.
While our Regional Park is less than a mile away from I-75, you'll think you're in the wilderness. Our Regional Park trails allow hikers to go for a quick hike on their lunch hour with all the serenity of a remote hike.
While some cities try to incorporate nature into their city, Athens Trails incorporates its facilities into nature. At the Wetlands trails you can see several incorporated elements encouraging you to sit and enjoy nature. The stone theater and pergola make for great places to sit and take in the world.
