We regularly cycle American Tobacco Trail and then take White Oak to Bond Lake for lunch as part of an out a back. It's a nice surface, with modest foot and cycle traffic. Well maintained trail and boardwalks. Through woods and neighborhood back yards along small streams. Bond Lake has facilities, picnic tables, water fountains.
Trail goes from Smithfield Recreation and Aquatic center to Park on S2nd st. About 5 miles through mostly wooed area. Paved the entire way. Parking at both ends of trail. Nice short ride or walk.
This is a nice short trail that runs through the town of Louisburg, however, it needs repairs to the asphalt to minimize long term degradation
Thankful for a pedestrian friendly route on this side part of town, this route is more utilitarian than it is for sight seeing.
It took us awhile to find this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3KoH7btKSEoZvdx78
My wife and I are from Georgia and were looking forward to riding this trail. We didn't complete the entire trail, but we rode about 10 miles of it. It was a wonderfully nice, peaceful ride along a well-kept, clean trail. We took the connector to the Mingo Creek trail, then returned to finish at the Neuse River. We will definitely be back to ride the entire trail soon.
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. :-)
The greenway now extends to the southwest and ends at the Apex Nature Park. Overall length from Jaycee Park to Apex Nature Park is about 5 miles. Great nature ride. Well designed
Only rode 15 miles from Auburn-Knightdale to Milburne Dam and back but this is one of the very best trails for casual bicyclists. Paved. Wide. Scenic. Mostly shaded. Daily level with occasional hills that are a bit challenging for old and out-of-shapers but not too bad. Did not see a single electric terror bike--very unusual these days. Very friendly users (95% respond to greetings). Not many terrorizing "serious" riders. Great ride. Lots of bridges. Perfectly maintained.
This was nirvana - great rtide starting at Ed Yerba park and connecting via the Cary Greenway to American Tobacco Trail - beautiful mural on the way to the trail as well - this was fantastic Jayant Bicyclists from Texas
