Bicentennial Greenway

bump

June, 2026 by wubbogirl

Too bumpy. Which is unfortunate its a pretty trail

High Point Greenway Trail

A nice after work trail.

April, 2026 by charles.klasman

Parking was easy. The trail has a modest slope at points. Some sections are elevated above the natural environment, boardwalk fashion. Well marked and well paved. Not overly crowded for such a nice trail in the evening. Highly recommended for walkers, runners and bikers. I look forward to doing it again when I travel here next. :-)

Emerald Necklace

Emerald Necklace: A Scenic Vision with Navigational Challenges

March, 2026 by aswheele

The *Emerald Necklace* is an effort to link greenways and local streets into a continuous loop through the northern part of Mecklenburg County, primarily around Cornelius and Davidson. The concept is excellent—creating a connected network for cyclists and walkers—but the current experience is a mix of enjoyable greenway riding and more challenging on-road navigation. Your enjoyment will largely depend on your comfort level riding on streets. At some point in the future, the western portion of the system is expected to connect with a greenway extending to Huntersville.

Riders should be prepared for sections that transition onto streets, some of which are busy or narrow. There are also several crossings at high-traffic intersections that require caution. Currently, connecting the eastern and western portions of the Necklace requires riding along very busy Catawba Avenue or Sam Furr Road, which may be uncomfortable for some cyclists.

To make the experience more enjoyable, we’ve found it best to ride the Necklace in sections rather than attempting the full loop at once, thereby avoiding some of the more difficult road segments. Signage and naming can also be confusing—for example, the trail beginning at Shearer Road is referred to by different names on various maps, making navigation less intuitive. And the signs on the street along this route and small and easy to miss.

On our most recent outing, we completed an out-and-back ride on the South Prong Rocky River Greenway, traveling from Shearer Road to the River Run Athletic Field. Much of this segment follows neighborhood streets rather than a dedicated greenway. While the River Run area is quite lovely, the bike lanes are in need of repainting, and signage directing riders from one street to another is minimal or nonexistent.

Parking is available at various points along the route, but locating access points can be challenging. It is helpful to download a trail map in advance:
[https://www.carolinathreadtrailmap.org/trails/trail/south-prong-rocky-river-greenway]

The terrain in this section is notably hilly, adding an extra level of challenge to the ride.

**Overall:**
A promising and scenic concept that still needs improved signage, clearer mapping, and safer, more consistent bike infrastructure to fully realize its potential.

Pinehurst Greenway

good for walking

February, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

good for walking and ok to see some sites. not very good if you try to ride at a higher pace.

Little Sugar Creek Greenway

Great Easy Ride

January, 2026 by pjcobra

We rode only 10 miles or so mostly upcreek from the park in South Park. Perfectly paved trail crosses back and forth over creek. Pretty level with some small hills. Woods, mature developments, parks, occasionally through streets with very little traffic. Probably better scenery when not middle of winter. Real nice ride.

Pinehurst Greenway

town / neighborhoods

November, 2025 by dan.allen.50552

Trail is on and off road. It sometimes is on sandy along trail. Good walking not so much biking. Hard to follow signs from road.

Little Sugar Creek Greenway

Great Fall ride

November, 2025 by robertrollins28079

Wife, special needs adult son & I rode about 9-10 miles of the Briar Creek Trail on a gorgeous Fall Saturday. We accessed the trail on Park Drive in Pineville & rode north to the Park Road Shopping Center, where we exited & had a good lunch at The Flying Biscuit. Trail is in great condition & was moderately crowded on this Saturday, but not so much as too feel unrideable. Good combination of cyclists, joggers, & dog walkers. This trail is a jewel for the entire Charlotte area. Look forward to riding more.

Emerald Necklace

Outsiders Not Welcome

November, 2025 by bjmcgowin

This trail the was nice but clearly intended for residents only. Businesses around it with signage stating “not trail parking.” Little to no parking access for non residents. Construction on trail but detours from the trail side are poorly marked but seem to be well marked in the residential areas surrounding. Trail is really several trails with one area not accessible to the other. Not sure why it is listed as “a” trail. Should be two. If you can access it you will enjoy it but good luck. We tried multiple points and spoke to people on it that did not have any good recommendations.
