Guidebook for Athens
Parks & Nature
Dudley Park's network of paths offer several options to loop an urban 'hike' (or run, or bike ride) from our house. The paths through the park are also our favorite route to get to Mama's Boy restaurant, not to mention the famous REM Murmur Trestle by Poplar Street. Dudley Park connects to the newly opened terminus of the Firefly Rail-to-Trail, featuring an impressive high-flying pedestrian bridge above the waters of the Oconee River that leads back to downtown.
