High Point Greenway Trail

A nice after work trail.

April, 2026 by charles.klasman

Parking was easy. The trail has a modest slope at points. Some sections are elevated above the natural environment, boardwalk fashion. Well marked and well paved. Not overly crowded for such a nice trail in the evening. Highly recommended for walkers, runners and bikers. I look forward to doing it again when I travel here next. :-)

Pinehurst Greenway

good for walking

February, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bicentennial Greenway

It's so bumpy and jarring you cannot get a rhythm. Do not recommend

Clark's Creek Greenway

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

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.

Pinehurst Greenway

More suitable for walkers/runners

March, 2025 by mlawlor72

Rode this trail yesterday during a gorgeous spring day. The trail is mixed surface from packed sand, to loose sand, some asphalt, gravel and roots. It is not a wide path. Narrow in places. Does cross over a train track which was fun to watch. I can’t say I would recommend this for a bike ride - I found myself going on the road in areas - but it would be lovely for walkers & runners. Safe area. Loved the historic area!

Greensboro Downtown Greenway

Actually 3.5 miles finished. Working on the last .5 mile. Will be a 4 mile loop around the city. Nice paved trail.

Four Mile Creek Greenway (Town of Matthews)

Great for strollers

November, 2024 by mrsbeem2019

We love this trail. Sometimes bikers don’t use proper etiquette when passing families with small children; however, it’s a great trail for families. Watch out for baby brown snakes. They come up every once in a while, typically after a storm.
