It took us awhile to find this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3KoH7btKSEoZvdx78
My wife and I are from Georgia and were looking forward to riding this trail. We didn't complete the entire trail, but we rode about 10 miles of it. It was a wonderfully nice, peaceful ride along a well-kept, clean trail. We took the connector to the Mingo Creek trail, then returned to finish at the Neuse River. We will definitely be back to ride the entire trail soon.
Only rode 15 miles from Auburn-Knightdale to Milburne Dam and back but this is one of the very best trails for casual bicyclists. Paved. Wide. Scenic. Mostly shaded. Daily level with occasional hills that are a bit challenging for old and out-of-shapers but not too bad. Did not see a single electric terror bike--very unusual these days. Very friendly users (95% respond to greetings). Not many terrorizing "serious" riders. Great ride. Lots of bridges. Perfectly maintained.
good for walking and ok to see some sites. not very good if you try to ride at a higher pace.
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.
This was nirvana - great rtide starting at Ed Yerba park and connecting via the Cary Greenway to American Tobacco Trail - beautiful mural on the way to the trail as well - this was fantastic Jayant Bicyclists from Texas
Great trail for this first timer to the area. Arrived on a Saturday around 7:30am. Parking lot was starting to fill up quickly. Weather was humid, about 75 degrees. Felt safe as there were plenty of runners & cyclists on the path. Majority of the path is shaded, which was a blessing on this hotter than July weather. Police presence on the trail as well. A lovely couple was passing out cold water bottles, which was much appreciated. Would definitely visit this trail when visiting the area again.
We enjoyed the ride on Walnut Creek trail. Lots of nice views around lake johnson. Be sure to use Trail link app’s map. There are a few turns that the app helped with. Beware there were a few homeless on the trail. No one bothered us. We will be riding the trail again. The best part was taking the turn to the farmers market. We stopped for lunch at the restaurant. Recommend it.
Rode the trail starting in Erwin by the Mill. The ride was great. Needs a little trimming in places but was beautiful trail through the area. Took a little ride into town on the Dunn’s side. Just a few blocks from end of trail to downtown. Recommend stopping at Sherry’s Bakery. Great food. At the the other end in downtown Erwin you have the Pizza House and Burney’’s Bakery. You will not regret stopping there. The rail trail is about 10 miles round trip. Easy ride.
Rode this with the entire family today, beautiful day and the trail is everything a person could ask for. Woods, waterfalls covered bridges, boardwalk bridges, kids loved it. Down here in North Carolina from Michigan visiting the kids and grandkids, glad we brought our bikes.
Too bad it ends nowhere on the south extremity.
