This 2.4-mile paved trail extends from Riverfront Park to Cox Landing and includes scenic overlooks along the Flint River. Stroll along the Oxford Environmental Park Nature Trail, an off-shoot of the greenway, to learn more about the local ecology.
From I-75 South: Take Exit 99 onto GA 300 S., just after Cordele. Turn right toward Warwick, Georgia and proceed for approximately 33 miles. Turn right on Oglethorpe (Business 82) and proceed on Oglethorpe to the Flint River. Immediately after crossing the river, take the first right onto Front Street. The Flint RiverQuarium and Ray Charles Plaza are at the corner of Front Street and Pine Avenue, where you can access the trail.
I ride this trail regularly since it's near my home. It's especially nice that it links to the very nice bike path that runs through Albany, GA and connects to the rails-to-trails project that will eventually go from Albany to Sasser. The rails-to-trails portion isn't paved yet but you can still ride 10 plus miles on the dirt path, part of the way to Sasser. All-in-all I can start at Cox Landing, ride the paved trail to Turtle Park in Albany, then ride the city bike path to the rails-to-trails path, ride part of the rails-to-trails path, then return to my starting point while covering 20 plus miles total.
This was a well maintained, safe, and scenic trail. It is paved with concrete; wide enough for plenty of people. The day I walked, it was only me. There are also dirt trails coming off the concrete path. They are safe, easy to walk. Although the concrete trail is about 2.4 miles, I made a 7.4 mile walk by taking some of the extra dirt paths, the loop, and walking back to my starting point (instead of getting picked up at the end of the trail.)
There are places to sit, pic nic, and fish.
Great for jogging, walking, or biking. Very nice!
Walked this trail for the first time today, and was pleasantly surprised at how well this trail is maintained and how clean and well kept it is. We plan to go walk this trail again in the morning. We seen lots of wildlife and even walked up on a beautiful Doe! We also saw a cute little Oak snake who let us take a picture of him, then he scurried off on his way. Definitely will be planning many more enjoyable walks on this trail. :-)
This trail is very pretty, my family and I enjoyed our Christmas walk out here. It is kept very clean and has some gorgeous views. Definitely a new favorite go-to trail.
enjoyed the walk,comfortable walked it 3 times.
