Love Raleigh's trails

People here are so lucky to have this great network and being able to get away from traffic when biking, walking, running. Varied scenery. Plus part of it is on the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000-mile route from the Canadian border in eastern Maine all...More

Some of the best city trails in the south east.

Raleigh's greenways are awesome. There are several connecting greenways that total more than a hundred miles. The Neuse River Trail is the longest and argubaly the best. You can ride miles without crossing a road and the bridges over the river are excellent. The Neuse...More

One great greenway!

Miles and miles of paved trails make this an excellent recreational opportunity for bikers, runners and walkers. Plus, the greenway is appropriate for people of all skill levels. My only real complaint is the same complaint of runners everywhere--don't play your personal music so loud...More

Really great trail

I used to live right next to the greenway and I would jog it all the time. It was perfectly shaded till a storm took out a whole portion of trees in 2011 and then they redid the sewer system in 2014. The section I...More

Beautiful scenery

One must get up and be out early for a walk , jog , or bike ride. So many miles of lovely nature . Can't wait to get my New Jersey feet down on the greenway when I visit. Makes me want to move !

Greenway is a gem

This greenway is really good. If you are visiting Raleigh and you love to be outdoors without traffic, figure out a way to stay near enough to the greenway to utilize it. There are bike and kayak rentals too. Or walk or run. Every city...More

38 miles of heaven

Add an extra 3 to the base of 35, if you park at the art museum. This trail is a part of the Raleigh loop which is 95% greenway. You will go under tons of 4-6 lane highway, train tracks, and along several of the...More

Great place to be active

The Raleigh greenways are awesome for so many things, but I've used them for marathon training, leisurely bikerides, geocaching, and commuting. The paths are paved, and while there are some hills, it's easy to navigate. Plus they keep opening up more areas of greenway, so...More
