Cape Fear River Trail

Great trail to ride!

April, 2025 by kk7mhnt22f

Rode this with the entire family today, beautiful day and the trail is everything a person could ask for. Woods, waterfalls covered bridges, boardwalk bridges, kids loved it. Down here in North Carolina from Michigan visiting the kids and grandkids, glad we brought our bikes.

Black Creek Greenway

Great Bike Ride

April, 2025 by theklug

Had a Great Bike ride on the Black Creek Greenway. As a first timer, We weren't sure where to go, but figured it out pretty easily. Went around lake and just followed the trails in what ended up being a 10 mile ride. Went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, but I imagine it would be a bit busier on the weekends. Did cross 1 or 2 roads to follow the trails, and took several turns, but made it back without any issues at all. Paved trails and a couple of wooden bridges made for an easy ride. Restroom facilities available in parking lot and signs are posted along the route. Highly recommended.

Crabtree Creek Greenway

very good urban/suburban creek trail

April, 2025 by chrisneilbelles

Well-maintained and nice creek views. It is an urban/suburban trail but I found it very pleasant. Nice tree shade and lots of different scenery. Some nice wetlands too with bridges. Small bumps here and there but nothing that got on my nerves. Lots of opportunities to create loop rides using connecting trails, like the Neuse River Trail and House Creek Trail. Give it a try and I think you will like it, so long as you understand it is an urban/suburban trail and not a rural rail trail. Also --- Check Raleigh Greenways website to get a grip on construction alerts because the trail does cross under a bunch of roads and runs on top of underground sewer lines.

American Tobacco Trail

Bucket List Trail

March, 2025 by mlawlor72

This trail has been on my “bucket list” and I finally got to ride it! Absolutely stunning early spring day for riding - sunshine and warmth. I started the trail at its head point - New Hill Olive which was well marked off the road. Lots of parking. Has a bathroom. The segway portion leading down to the trail is loose gravel and on the steep side - take note - wasn’t easy to bike on and I could see people taking spills here. From here, the trail is packed sand which I find more enjoyable to ride on as there aren’t root humps and bumps. New Hope Church Rd is a beautiful stop with bathrooms and water fountains. From there it turns into mixed use with asphalt and packed sand.

Cape Fear River Trail

Fun scenic trail!

March, 2025 by mlawlor72

I really enjoyed riding this rail trail. After reading the reviews, I decided to start off in Linear Park and ride my way north on the trail so I would hit the challenging hills in the middle of my ride. Smart move on my part lol! The trail is asphalt, beautiful condition. Blooming wisteria was stunning and the scent is intoxicating. Boardwalks, bridges, “tunnels”, hills and flats - it has something to offer everyone. The Cape Fear River and a few streams and a couple waterfalls wrap is up! Rode all the way to the soccer field complex and then back to Linear Park. Great ride!

Pinehurst Greenway

More suitable for walkers/runners

March, 2025 by mlawlor72

Rode this trail yesterday during a gorgeous spring day. The trail is mixed surface from packed sand, to loose sand, some asphalt, gravel and roots. It is not a wide path. Narrow in places. Does cross over a train track which was fun to watch. I can’t say I would recommend this for a bike ride - I found myself going on the road in areas - but it would be lovely for walkers & runners. Safe area. Loved the historic area!

Cape Fear River Trail

Forested splendor

March, 2025 by mollyrollins008

Husband and I rode this trail on Sunday 3/9/25, little chilly & overcast on this date, but a really nice ride. Heading north from Clark Park is a good workout as there are some challenging uphill climbs. The ride is beautifully surrounded by forests, easy to forget you're in the Carolina sandhills. Trail was moderately crowded on this date, an overall really good time.

Dunn-Erwin Rail-Trail

Saturday cycling

March, 2025 by robertrollins28079

Spouse and I were trying to find a moderate length rail trail within a couple of hours from home (Charlotte area). We decided to try the Dunn-Erwin trail and are glad we did. It was a nice late winter day with temps getting into the mid 70's. The trail was enjoyable and fairly well maintained until we got to the trail extension in Erwin. There was a short section which was washed out more suitable for mountain bikes rather than road bikes. Some of the signage is getting weathered and needs replacing but otherwise well marked. Overall a satisfying ride.

Sam's Branch Greenway

Trail is closed. No timetable for re-opening.

February, 2025 by cspeary

The trail is currently closed. No mention of this on the Clayton Parks and Rec website. This area is experiencing explosive growth in housing developments with the accompanying need to expand infrastructure. The trail parallels a sewer line which is being upgraded. According to the Johnston County website, there is no timetable for completion. An on-road detour to connect Municipal Park to the Clayton River Walk where it crosses Covered Bridge Road is possible, but there is plenty of traffic and some steep hills. I recommend parking at the River Walk Parking area on Covered Bridge Road and riding north.
