This is a nice ride through the woods. I rode it mid day on a week day lots of walkers .
Deep river was a great place to walk with your dog. Easy to find
Overall great trail . But trail is cut in between three busy intersections with plenty of cars so you have to be really careful . Also beware of dog poop among the trail. Some dog owners aren’t cleaning up after themselves .
My husband and I love rails to trails cycling. The path here is so rough where roots have grown through and busted the pavement it’s almost impossible to ride in places. We’ll not be going back.
Walked the trail today and enjoyed the scenery, will def do again
I was disappointed in the trail. If you are going to hike this plan to come way after a rain. It was extremely muddy and therefore getting quite eroded. The biggest disappointment was the human impact as far as first trash and then once I made it to a beautiful deciduous forest with gorgeous beech trees, if these beautiful trees were within a few feet of the trail they were defaced. Come on people!
Five minutes to the greenway from home, plenty of parking. It’s flat and great for the family. Has been crowded the few times we’ve been but everyone is very friendly. Overall a quick beautiful little ride.
