Ribbon-cutting to be held for portion of Highlands to Islands trail near UNG

By Access WDUN Staff
The final portion of the Tumbling Creek Section of the Highlands to Islands Trail, located near the University of North Georgia’s campus in Oakwood, will be unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday, July 13 at 11 a.m.

A portion of the trail - including a wooden boardwalk and tree-lined trails - opened to the public in February and extended the existing path an additional quarter-mile from the pedestrian tunnel under Atlanta Highway to the pedestrian bridge near UNG.

A release from Hall County Government said the final piece of the Tumbling Creek Trail project has created more than one-half mile of additional trail space.

Free parking for the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be available inside the parking lot of the University of North Georgia’s Health Sciences Building at 2990 Landrum Education Drive in Oakwood.

UNG officials will provide a golf cart shuttle service to transport guests to and from the ribbon-cutting ceremony location.

Guests may also follow directional signage that will be placed alongside the trail for a short walk to the ceremony.
