Actually 3.5 miles finished. Working on the last .5 mile. Will be a 4 mile loop around the city. Nice paved trail.
Just rode the whole trail. Trail is fully paved, goes through some really pretty wooded areas. It’s hilly, and the pavement is full of bumps caused by tree roots. Fine for casual bikers, not great for high-speed road bikers. There is a stairway towards the southern end that does accommodate bikes. But it’s nicely done and well maintained.
This is a paved, slightly narrow path of about 3.5 miles one way. No cross roads so auto traffic is not an issue. There is generally 1 water crossing and sometimes a flooded section. Can be muddy and sandy immediately after storms. Mostly shaded. Parking available by Salem College tennis courts. One hill of note; otherwise a pleasant bike ride. Can be crowded on weekends. Intersects with Salem Lake loop.
The finished parts are lovely and shaded. There are many segments in busy roads with no bike lanes or sidewalks.
Close to me, beautiful trail, shade is great in the summer.
We enjoyed the trail. We rode from Guilford Military Park in Greensboro to Burmill Park In summerfield. Lots of up and down hills but not too strenuous. Paved and well maintained. Nice resting stops along the way.
Seemed like the trailhead coordinates weren’t accurate. They brought me to someplace close to the trail but with no parking area. All the parking areas are on route 22 (around 35.7412891, -79.6828295). Not exactly a quiet walk. Seemed to be some kind of man made buzz most of the walk. Never could figure out where it was coming from. But the views of the river were great and I saw one of the biggest great blue herons I’ve ever seen.
Circumvent the Salem Lake in 7 miles. Small section is asphalt and majority is packed dirt/gravel. Several sections of erosions and tree debris along with horse droppings. However, more eroded sections have been repaired. Lots of rolling hills and 2 steeper climbs with hairpin turns. Tough bike riding on weekends due to Lake’s popularity. Great balance of sun and shade with welcome lake breezes. Plenty of parking. Option to mountain bike on Jesus Trail or at the Dojo. If erosion was non existent-this would be a 5 star trail especially week days. One of our area favorites
The bridge crossing Lake Brandt 1/4 mile south of Strawberry Rd is blocked off. The detour is Battleground Rd to Bur-Mil park.
