If you want to bring chairs and pick a spot in the shade, I've seen people have a small picnic on the trail. There is also a pavilion and picnic tables at Athens Middle School if you follow the trail there or you can start the trail there. My family enjoys walking this trail on weekends when we aren't busy.
There are picknick tables and pavilions at the Athens High School parking lot.
