About Dudley Park

Dudley Park is a 32-acre riverside park just east of downtown Athens, where Trail Creek meets the North Oconee River. It's the hub of the trail system: the North Oconee River Greenway and the Firefly Trail meet here, and there's a launch for canoes and kayaks. The park was dedicated in 1953 and named for former Athens mayor A. G. Dudley.
