WHERE YOU WILL PRACTICE – ATHENS GEORGIA

Just outside of Atlanta, the city of Athens offers lots to do both indoors and outdoors. The Georgia Museum of Art and the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library house compelling collections and exhibits on campus. And Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall offers a glimpse into the storied history of the University of Georgia Bulldogs athletics.
In town, the Lyndon House Arts Center offers exhibits, classes, open studio membership and volunteer opportunities, while the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, a nonprofit art gallery, displays works from local artists, as well as national and international creators.
Outdoors, the North Oconee River Trail, part of the Oconee Rivers Greenway, is a multiuse path (8 miles paved, 3.1 miles of natural path). More than 3 miles of the Firefly Trail’s proposed 39-mile path are also located in Athens; both are attractive to dedicated hikers and weekend walkers. The State Botanical Garden of Georgia has a host of educational and hiking opportunities, and Sandy Creek Park, Sandy Creek Nature Center, Walker Park, and Memorial Park and Bear Hollow Zoo are outdoor havens just about everyone can enjoy.
