We have miles and miles of local greenways available near where I live in North Carolina.
Greenways are a great off-road resource for healthy outdoor family activities like bike rides, hikes and walks.
This is especially important these days, when most State Parks and National Parks have been closed or partially closed since March- and we don’t know when we’ll be allowed to fully use them again.
At the same time, schools have been closed, children have already been home for weeks, and they need someplace to play outside!
Fortunately, if you choose to leave your yard for outdoor activities, our greenways locally and across the State have remained open for use.
If you don’t live right next to one or haven’t explored the greenways yet, it can be hard to figure out where to go.
Best Local Greenways
Black Creek Greenway, White Oak Creek Greenway, and the American Tobacco Trail are some of the longest and most used greenways in the Cary/Apex area.
The greenways also connect through some of the most popular local parks!
