I am travelling cross-country and stopping each day to skate.
This trail has occasional root cracks, but I don't recall ever skating on smoother pavement. A GREAT skating venue.
I found dry leaves on the trail in many places, but skated through them without any problem.
Beware the wet spots on the trail - they are SLIPPERY!
Catawba Meadows Park is about mid-point and is a good parking area.
What a great trail to ride a bike on! Loved it and use it frequently!
Great ride! The part through the park is under construction. Will definitely be back!
A nice ride through the city connecting several parks. Fairly flat with several turns and some great scenery. Only complaint is the northern part of the trail has a lot of street crossings and can be a little confusing to navigate back on the trail. Will definitely ride again though.
Great trail for my first ride in two years. Mostly flat, a few slight inclines. Shade available. Only trouble was with one family group with an unleashed dog and another woman on the wrong side of the trail with a dog who wouldn’t move to the right. Please people, follow the rules and keep everyone safe. I look forward to riding there again.
Ride the full length and back. Great scenery on the northern end. Quaint towns on the southern.
This is a lovely trail. It goes through some beautiful parks. Good facilities. The trail is mostly shaded, flat and runs along the river. Will definitely be going back.
This is not really a trail it’s more of a walk through a neighborhood you legit walk through streets at some point to make it all the way around
We had a wonderful time on the Thermal trail. A bear, 2 snakes and friendly bikers welcomed us. Some areas of shade have us rest from the sun. We will certainly ride again in the fall.
A great trail connecting some of the Southern-most parts of the city all the way up to North of Uptown - with just a few missing links that are currently in progress. When fully completely this will be an even bigger asset to every person in CLT. So many beautiful spots along the way, especially near Park Road Park and just North or Park Road Shopping Center.
This trail is nice and flat and mostly shady. it has easy access if you park at park off 700 E Garrison- the armory parking lot features a steep hill we didn’t want to navigate with strollers.
