Description:
The Muddy Creek Greenway follows its namesake waterway through woodlands and meadows in the western outskirts of Winston-Salem. The mix of environments makes the trail a birdwatchers paradise. Cardinals, bluebirds, chickadees and woodpeckers can frequently be found in the trees along the trail. In the open areas, look for blackbirds, meadowlarks and wild turkeys. From the banks of the creek, you may see herons, kingfishers, ducks and even a hawk circling above for a meal.

Riding Muddy Creek
By godeep12 in March, 2012
Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to ride this trail, I have seen deer, wild turkey, and turtles. Along the way you will pass a private horse pasture, and Meadowlark school just behind the Soccer fields close to one of the 2 trail heads. Btw, this is where the one and only porta john is on the trail. The trail is asphalt and well maintained which makes for a smooth ride, word of caution while riding across the foot bridges. There are yellow poles at each end of the bridges, a couple of the poles have been torn down leaving jagged metal a few inches protruding out of the ground.
I give this trail 3 stars because although very short in length it does offer a great opportunity to see wildlife. In my opinion, N Carolina has a long way to go to catch up to other states when it comes to bike trails.
