Additions made to Foothills Trail

Visitors to Oconee State Park will notice a new addition to the 76-mile Foothills Trail.  Hikers are invited to celebrate the upgrades during a ceremony this month at the end of the trail. Heyward Douglass of the Foothills Trail Conference says there is new paved parking, along with some kiosks whose maps help guide hikers. The ceremony takes place at 10am on May 16 at Oconee State Park.
