Confirmed from Broad Street Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Broad Street Trailhead
Part of Rails to Trails. This is the nicest paved stretch that is great for walking, biking, and dog walking though area trail is not contiguous. Good community playground available up the hill from trail.
Great area to walk. To call this a hiking area is like calling your neighborhood street a freeway, but whatever depending on your skill level. I call it a greenway. It's still nice.
We love the city trails. This one runs into General Bragg but the tracks along the way are really fun explore.
Existing as one of the several smaller entry points to the Greenway, the Broad Street entrance reflects that with its reduced available parking. Adjacent to 84 Lumber, many parking spots are actually reserved for the business itself.
