Confirmed from Oconee River Greenway's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring views of the Oconee River and trails for walking and biking.
What runners say about Oconee River Greenway
“It would be more ideal if these seating areas had a better view of the River, but they are clean and in good condition.”
“Would be even more beautiful if parks and rec cut back some of the overgrowth blocking the views of the river at the picnic table areas.”
“Great shaded trails, kayak launch, dog park, and other fun discoveries.”
“Go alone and sit near to water feel very peaceful and enjoy nature greenery.”
Nice place for a quiet walk along the Oconee River. There are paved walks of various lengths and a great boardwalk through the woods. This is a small raised platform, numerous benches and even a small wooden fishing/observation. The information board has a map and useful information.
What an absolutely amazing place!!! Great walk for the fam and pupper! Water was warm! Saw tons of tiny fish lol Great place for fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, walking, just adventuring in general! Clean, so let's KEEP IT CLEAN!
Great shaded trails, kayak launch, dog park, and other fun discoveries.
Great wide paved trails. Lots of different paths to take and explore. Pretty views. Easy trails. Boardwalks have a few boards missing be careful. Dog park is also close there are two fenced in areas for different sized canines.
