Confirmed from Hector H.Henry, II 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.

“The surroundings feel calm and full of nature.”

A decent trail, near a very famous Carolina attraction. There a lot of elevated paths … and quite surprisingly very decently maintained. A lot of elevated path due to marshy like terrain, approximately a mile long. There are two fenced dog parks based on the weight, at the entrance and its very active.

★★★★☆ — Suman , May 2022

This is a very nice green way that supports all manner of activities- walking, running, biking, etc. The dog park is somewhat halfway. One direction goes to a subdivision, the other to the Hilton. Paved with nice boardwalks. Several dog stations and there are bathrooms and lots of parking at the dog park.

★★★★★ — Mark , Nov 2022

It will be delightful when it's finished. Right now it's only .2 miles at best and not worth the drive. I was shocked to see the trail simply end with a portable bathroom and abandoned equipment. I assume they are working on it 🤷‍♀️

★★★★☆ — Leslie , Oct 2019

A beautiful trail highlighting the natural wetland ecosystem. We always see birds and rabbits, and often other wildlife on our walks. The paths are paved, and quite wide. A mostly flat walk, this is somewhere I could bring friends who use walkers or a wheelchair.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
