Thermal Belt Rail Trail

great trail to ride

May, 2025 by carololson

Looking for a good workout? This trail will fit the bill. Some inclines to push through and lots of straightaways.

West Branch Rocky River Greenway

nice trail

May, 2025 by jeffdeitrick60

Difficult to get to by bicycle. Lots of narrow surrounding roads with no shoulder. Best to transport your bike there.

McDowell Creek Greenway

great short run

May, 2025 by jeffdeitrick60

Very hilly. Currently has confusing detours. Not a bad trail. Good route from Cornelius down to Birkdale village. Slippery when wet!

Accordion

Emerald Necklace

decent loop

May, 2025 by jeffdeitrick60

I do this loop a couple times a week. It’s a series of greenways and residential roads forming a “loop”. Be prepared for some hills. I use an ebike so there are no issues. It does have a lot of wood bridges which can get slippery when it’s damp.

Road still closed at the bridge so less traffic

April, 2025 by jadams9

I’ve ridden this twice since Helene. Once last Fall and then again in March 2025. There isn’t much traffic since the road is closed at the bridge — which is about half way. Bikes can cross the bridge and ride around the road damage past the bridge. It would be 5 stars for scenery if it weren’t for the fact there are still cars — just fewer than normal. Helene was such a devastating storm. ¿¿Appalachia Strong!

Thermal Belt Rail Trail

Wonderful trail, great signage, trail wasn't to busy. Stop by Grumpys if you have any bike needs. They are super friendly and have great accessories. Only improvement I would make is a restroom at each TH.

The bridge has been destroyed because the broad River overflowed after tropical storm Helene came through

McDowell Creek Greenway

Secluded Suburban Trail

November, 2024 by maryepalermo

Saturday afternoon ride on a bright November day. Surprisingly limited number of cyclists, walkers, runners, & strollers. Entered at Birkdale Village Trailhead. Congested area. Suggest trying Catawba Road instead. Shaded trail with elevation changes and some crossings.

Caldwell Station Creek Greenway

Great trail. still not complete

November, 2024 by v.londhe

I rode my bike on this trail last weekend. It was beautiful with the fall trees..there los a small in complete section. But otherwise it is a great greenway. The leaves were turning and so it looked beautiful!

Thermal Belt Rail Trail

wonderful trail

October, 2024 by keowe

We just rode this trail yesterday. It was open all the way. They did have a lot of trees down but all are cleared off the trail. Highly recommend this trail.

South Fork Rail-Trail

Pretty

September, 2024 by sewupscalequilts

My husband and I were looking for a trail that was flat but in the woods. My husband recently has knee replacement surgery and he was able to walk easily on this trail. For this trip, we only went partway but next time, hopefully, he’ll be able to go further. It was so pretty and the history of the renovated mill is very interesting. I want to add that if you are south bound on 321, after you exit, turn right. The rest of the directions are great.

Railroad Grade Road

As it's title indicates, it's a road

August, 2024 by samanthamozel29

While not much traffic exists on this road, the cars that drive down drive quite fast and I feel this isn't the best place to send people for a walk. If there were a sidewalk going along this road, I think this would be a wonderful and lovely place to recreate.
