Special to the
Opelika Observer
Keep Opelika Beautiful kicked off the Azalea and Dogwood Trail on March 17. The trail begins at the corner of 2nd Avenue and 8th Street and winds throughout the historic district and other neighborhoods of Opelika. Keep Opelika Beautiful has partnered with Lee County Master Gardeners to include the Salem-Shotwell Bridge and Caroline Dean Wildflower Garden on the trail. This will give visitors a chance to enjoy a short walk.
“The Azalea and Dogwood Trail is an annual highlight for Opelika. With the limitations set for group activities, we encourage people to take advantage of walking, biking or driving through the trail. There are many beautiful flowers and homes in Opelika” said KOB Director Tipi Miller.
For the trail, visitors may follow the green arrows signs or pick up an Azalea and Dogwood Trail directional card at the Opelika Chamber of Commerce or City Hall. Directions can also be found at the Keep Opelika Beautiful website, www.keepopelikabeautiful.com. The trail has been a long-standing highlight of the spring season in Opelika for more than three decades.
