Pinehurst Greenway

good for walking

February, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

good for walking and ok to see some sites. not very good if you try to ride at a higher pace.

Little Sugar Creek Greenway

Great Easy Ride

January, 2026 by pjcobra

We rode only 10 miles or so mostly upcreek from the park in South Park. Perfectly paved trail crosses back and forth over creek. Pretty level with some small hills. Woods, mature developments, parks, occasionally through streets with very little traffic. Probably better scenery when not middle of winter. Real nice ride.

Pinehurst Greenway

town / neighborhoods

November, 2025 by dan.allen.50552

Trail is on and off road. It sometimes is on sandy along trail. Good walking not so much biking. Hard to follow signs from road.

Little Sugar Creek Greenway

Great Fall ride

November, 2025 by robertrollins28079

Wife, special needs adult son & I rode about 9-10 miles of the Briar Creek Trail on a gorgeous Fall Saturday. We accessed the trail on Park Drive in Pineville & rode north to the Park Road Shopping Center, where we exited & had a good lunch at The Flying Biscuit. Trail is in great condition & was moderately crowded on this Saturday, but not so much as too feel unrideable. Good combination of cyclists, joggers, & dog walkers. This trail is a jewel for the entire Charlotte area. Look forward to riding more.

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.

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

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

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

Florence Rail Trail (SC)

We parked at the southwest end of the trail and walked 1.5 miles in. There is plenty of shade along the portion we did. The trail was paved for the first mile, followed by crushed stone. Well worth walking if you are in the area.
