I walk the Park 3 days a week with a group of 10-12 people, we carry garbage bags and pick up litter along the way and enjoy it in every season. One big issue is lack of port-o-potties along the route. Walking stimulates, in many ways. It would be so easy to install and maintain port-o-potties at several locations along the Oklawaha Greenway and make it so much more enjoyable. In particular, I would like to request one at the Berkley parking lot, where there is a picnic table, water fountain, etc., and is at our 1/2 way walking distance. Thank You so much!
I love the trail and looking forward to alot of summer riding.
I have two issues though.
1) the bumps are AWEFUL and make the ride less enjoyable and if going the distance, making it hard to enjoy.
2) we sure could use a bridge or two over the 2 VERY BUSY roads we must cross.
This trail is a great trail for biking but also a busy trail. We rode it on a Friday morning in March and I was surprised to see how many people out! There were moms with strollers, people walking and "serious" bikers (the ones that probably do bike races). But really enjoyed the trail as there is a lot to see (not boring). We started at the zoo and rode the trail north up to Travelers Rest and had lunch up there at the Whistle Stop (GREAT chickens salad) and back. We even stopped on the way coming back and rode around the lake at Furman. We stopped in at the Swamp Rabbit Grocery and had some of their homemade bread! Absolutely fabulous and bought a loaf to take with us! Their cookies are delicious too! A lot of people eating their sandwiches while we were there. I think we would do that next time!
Overall our trip was about 30 miles. When we started at the zoo we found a few spots that we weren't sure which way to go but we just asked people near us which way to Travelers Rest and they pointed us in the right direction. I think they need better signage on the beginning of the trail from the point starting at the zoo. The asphalt does need a little repair in a few places but overall a very enjoyable ride! GREAT day!
Just rode the Doodle Rail Trail and found it a quiet and smooth ride (nicely paved wide asphalt trail). However, it is hilly whether you go from Easley to Pickens or Pickens to Easley so bikes with gears would be needed. Most of the hills are long and gradual but you need the gears to comfortably ride them. Wooded in places and you pass cows, goats and old train cars.
This is how a greenway is done, distance marker every .25 and line going down the middle.
The Doodle trail is very well paved and crosses forested areas with streams and bridges. It is very pleasant to walk, run or bike on it between Easley and Pickens. Bring the whole family for a beautiful walk.
I like riding my bike here because it's convenient and connects three parks. Portions of the trail follow a creek. It is about a half mile or less from Main Street, restaurants and breweries.
This is a great greenway in Hendersonville, NC that connects Jackson Park to Patton Park and on to Berkeley Park. Great for a run or a bike ride with kids, you can really get the feel of being out in nature while still in a small city. Possible plans to extend the trail north to Fletcher and perhaps Sierra Nevada and south perhaps as far as the Flat Rock Park and even Carl Sandburg NHS make this potentially a real draw for visitors to the area as well as locals. A word of warning, sections of the trail near Jackson Park and another section South of Patton Park tend to flood after heavy rains. City maintenance does a great job of getting things back in shape quickly.
The trail is beautiful, flat and less than 5 minutes from Downtown Hendersonville. With five parking areas along the trail, it is easily accessible. Its new Born Learning Trail, which begins at the Berkley Park end of the trail, is a great place to take kids. The parking lots on 7th Avenue and North Main are probably the most convenient for those with disabilities.
Our local club hosts a walking event along the Oklawaha Greenway three times a week. Our "Amble & Ramble" provides much needed exercise and social interaction along beautiful and well maintained trails.
This is a wonderful Greenway just a short walk from Main Street Hendersonville connecting some great parks along a creek. Lots of potential for expansion and connection with other paths in the future.
