Confirmed from Caldwell Station Creek Greenway'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 Caldwell Station Creek Greenway
“Well-maintained asphalt trail.”
“As for the greenway itself, it is truly beautiful and potentially useful as it connects numerous neighborhoods located between US 21 in Huntersville and NC 115 in Cornelius.”
“Most of the path is shaded in the spring and summer by old growth hardwoods as it gradually descinds from the trailhead at the high line of the NC 115/Norfolk Southern RR corridor.”
“Flat for the most part, people brought their dogs, bicycles, or just walked/ran.”
First, a question for google: Why isn’t this greenway trail shown on google maps? As for the greenway itself, it is truly beautiful and potentially useful as it connects numerous neighborhoods located between US 21 in Huntersville and NC 115 in Cornelius.
Great greenway for a leisurely walk, run or jog. Kid friendly and very flat terrain for most of the length of the greenway.
Took a leisurely walk, and on the way back, as I approached Bailey Road, I stopped and took a picture of some flowers, when I turned around, I almost stepped on a stick, but it wasn’t a stick, it was a Copperhead! Beautiful! Perfect camouflage! Tapped it with a stick, and watched it slither into the woods.
Great 4 mile spot for a quick run, bike or a place to walk the dogs. Easy access from major roads.
