The Georgia Hi–Lo Trail is a recreation path in Georgia, United States. When completed, the 211miles trail will connect Athens to Savannah and will be the longest paved trail and longest arboretum in the United States.[1] It is expected to take around 25 years to complete.
The trail construction will break ground on July 27, 2024. The work will be undertaken by Georgia Hi–Lo Trail, Inc., headed by Mitch Sheppard, in partnership with the PATH Foundation.[2] The organization was founded by its executive director Mary Charles Howard.[3]
The project's initial phase (titled the Washington County Model Project) will cover 2.2miles within Forest Grove Preserve, a Century Farm. It will also connect to Athens' 39miles Firefly Trail. The trail will pass through eight counties: Greene, Hancock, Washington, Johnson, Emanuel, Bulloch, Effingham and Chatham.[4]
