This is a great trail! I go to Meredith College, and if you walk the whole trail from NCMOA, you will end at Meredith! I highly recommend it.

Went to this trail last weekend with my boyfriend and my14 year old daughter. It was absolutely beautiful. Saw woodpeckers, blue jays and even a fox. Walked for about 2 hours taking our time at the different art exhibits sprinkled throughout the different trails. Would like to bring my bike next trip. Really beautiful. Definately recommend!!!
