Long Branch Trail (NC)

beautiful downtown area

January, 2025 by bernsteinlm

Easy walk. Great landscape. Beautiful

Reservoir Park Greenway

Not so much this trail but all the others that attach to this one. Many spots with 4" of sand. Walking would be great. Bikes with narrow tires forget it. I have 3"tires and I fish tailed all over. Nice place and very clean. Restrooms were clean.

American Tobacco Trail

We made a trip from western NC to ride the trail. Riding bikes we are always looking for longer trails and this was worth the trip!Also got to experience and enjoy the Durham area. Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to return sometime soon.

High Point Greenway Trail

Nice trail for casual bikers

October, 2024 by wmclarin

Beautiful paved trail, nicely maintained, especially at the western end. Nice bridges and scenery through the swamps. Nice view of High Point University at the Western end, even with the security fences on all sides.

Bicentennial Greenway

Nice trail – for biking at low speeds

October, 2024 by wmclarin

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.

Muddy Creek Greenway

Non-scenic except the creek

Non-scenic except the creek

Salem Creek Greenway

Salem Creek Greenway from Salem Lake to Salem Academy and College

August, 2024 by janskinj

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.

Salisbury Greenway

incomplete

August, 2024 by cbmadding

The finished parts are lovely and shaded. There are many segments in busy roads with no bike lanes or sidewalks.

High Point Greenway Trail

great trail

July, 2024 by crnjakalex

Close to me, beautiful trail, shade is great in the summer.

Eagle Spur Rail-Trail

Eagle Spur: A rail-trail by default rather than by design

June, 2024 by daveconnelly

The Eagle Spur is more of an abandoned rail corridor (1905-06) and less of a developed trail. Its scenic beauty is everywhere, with a canopy of trees and a payoff of seeing Jordan Lake up close. The surface is a forest floor, with fallen leaves, fallen trees, and unannounced places where the old railbed has given way. So it's wonderful for a walk in the woods, cautionary for runners' ankles, and injury-risking for inattentive mountain bikers. If you attempt this path during hunting season, blaze orange is advised.

Forest Creek Trail

Sandy

May, 2024 by evada

*Way* too Sandy for my taste, even with a trail bike. Couldn't figure out which I disliked more: fishtailing when going downhill into sand or spinning out while trying to go uphill.

Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway

Nice Local Trail

May, 2024 by tayyarahdavidson

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.
