One place I wanted to visit before leaving Athens was Sells Park, and now that I have I really wish I would have gone there sooner. It's a really beautiful, peaceful spot just a few blocks from the ever-expanding East State Street area. I'll let the sign provide most of the background details:
The paths have a definite vertical component to them, and you can also mountain bike on them.
This little pond is just a short walk up the parking lot at the end of Avon Place, off East State across from the Athens Community Center.

The park extends along the hills on the north side of East State. Like the sign says, you can take this path all the way to Stroud's Run.
The park's location - tucked behind a residential section of Athens right off the main road - make it convenient for students or anyone else looking to get into nature without traveling too far. The few moments that I got to spend there were not enough; I wish I could have made a few more trips there - if I had only known...
