About the Firefly Trail in Greene County

The Greene County section of the Firefly Trail is a paved rail-trail that runs about 6.5 miles from Union Point north through the little town of Woodville to the Oglethorpe County line. It's the longest finished stretch of the Firefly Trail so far, a wide path through woods and open farmland for walking, running, skating and biking, and someday it will connect all the way to Athens.
