Find Your Trail
The weather is warming up in central North Carolina, that means shifting our indoor activities to the great indoors. In North Carolina, we are fortunate to have access to many free walking trails. In fact, 96.4 miles of the Appalachian Trail run through our state. From the mountains to the coast, trails range from greenways to paddle trails.

Trails may vary in length, nature features and price, so make sure to choose the trail that best suits your walking needs!
