Confirmed from Oconee River Greenway Park'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.
Nature-filled area along the river featuring hiking paths and dog parks.

Top three trails I’ve been on if not the first! Beautiful and well maintained. Easy to walk!
More than just paved walking trails. Pretty views of river. Dog park. A sandbar. Fishing spots on the banks. Benches to stop for breaks. Picnic tables and grills, great for birthday parties and nice backdrop for family, senior and engagement photos Etc. Good place to ride bikes just have a bell.
Nice park for a quiet walk along the River or through the trees on a boardwalk. Very good variety of trail lengths. It looks like the area is susceptible to river flooding because of the debris in the branches and handrails. There is a ramp for the courageous.
A seriously gorgeous park. I walked here a few days ago, and decided to drive this time, because walking from the GC campus got a little sketch passing downtown. However, the park is beautiful and calm. It’s a hidden gem and is definitely a go-to from now on!
