Ocmulgee Blueway

Trail Description

The Ocmulgee Blueway Project,a project with partners from Bleckley, Houston, Twiggs and Pulaski Counties, consists of a blueway approximately 54 miles on the Ocmulgee flowing through all four counties. The ultimate hope is that the canoe trail will meet up with the Altamaha in Darien and then flow into the Atlantic Ocean.
