Campbell Creek Greenway

McAlpine Connection

October, 2025 by jasonhappe

South of the parking area is the Alpine Greenway. And appears to be at least another 4 miles of additional Greenway.

Campbell Creek Greenway

Distance and Extention

October, 2025 by jasonhappe

From the parking area north up to Lock Mount Drive is approximately 1.8 miles each way. The Greenway also goes south for additional mileage.

Briar Creek Greenway

School Section

October, 2025 by jasonhappe

The section by the schools has no good parking. The greenway is not contiguous between the schools section and the Museum section at this time.

Accordion

Briar Creek Greenway

Much Longer than the map shows

October, 2025 by jasonhappe

This needs to be updated. It now goes up and past the Mint Museum.

Little Sugar Creek Greenway

Great Greenway trails with plenty opportunity to check out different city scape areas. Easy on/off for places to eat etc. Not too busy mid week riding. Would definitely ride it again.

Four Mile Creek Greenway (Town of Matthews)

The 4 mile Greenway

September, 2025 by 2nj6w6z6vf

It’s a good trail to ride bikes and electric scooters and walk.

Torrence Creek Greenway

bumpy

July, 2025 by jeffdeitrick60

It’s an okay path. Bicycling it’s quite bumpy. Bumpiest greenway of all the trails I’ve been on in the county.

Clark's Creek Greenway

Trail starts at the nearby school, has a park with swings for kids at the trail head. Paved, nicely maintained.

It was so fun for me and my friends on our surrons

Peak to Prosperity Passage (Palmetto Trail)

Could be 5 stars but....

April, 2025 by amsley4

The flat and scenic trail has all the makings of a beautiful escape - river crossings, swamp bridges, railroad crossings and bridges and small town charm. Started in peak and at about mile 7.5 there was a large impassable tree across trail prohibiting full biking to prosperity. The trail is not "crushed stone" (would be great if it was) rather it is more like fist size rocks making it a pretty bumpy and painful ride in the saddle.

Campbell Creek Greenway

great for both walking and cycling

April, 2025 by jdtart

It’s a nice walk from Margaret Wallace parking area to Longmont. The grist mill ruin is cool to see, and it’s relatively serene given its proximity to independence blvd.

Twelve Mile Creek Trail

No trail markers - difficult to navigate

March, 2025 by patricia5431

Not for someone who's not used to trails with no markers! My walk started off great and I started from Waxhaw, 7900 Prescott Glen Pkwy- beautiful walk but after walking a few miles there was a threat of rain so I turned around and obviously took a wrong path because nothing is marked! I walked out to a street hoping to find direction but it was pouring rain. I stopped to ask directions from a couple on their porch with young children and they said I was about 3 miles from where I parked and offered me a ride. These larger parks need trail markers because this was an experience I could have done without!
