Clark's Creek Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This 2.5-mile trail follows the creek of the same name. It's a great trail for walkers, but it's for cyclists, too. One of the most interesting things about this trail is a short segment of boardwalk over wetlands.

If you want to keep biking longer, you can connect from this trail to the Mallard Creek Greenway.

The Mallard Creek Greenway spans 4.6 miles through woodlands, creeks, and neighborhoods; the greenway connects to the Clark's Creek Greenway, forming a continuous 7.4-mile route. Paved and gravel sections provide accessibility, and the trail is home to tranquil ponds, wetlands, and wildlife habitats, with multiple access points, benches, and picnic areas along the way.

Toby Creek Greenway (Mallard Creek Greenway to UNC Charlotte)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Toby Creek Greenway is a paved multi-use trail that connects the Mallard Creek Greenway to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. There is a quiet stream that flows next to the trail, which is shaded by tulip poplars, sycamores, and box elder trees. From the Toby Creek Greenway, you can see much of the UNC Charlotte Campus including many or the buildings, fields, and athletic facilities. If you were to continue down this trail past the campus, you would eventually meet up with Clark's Creek Greenway.
