We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of McDowell Creek Greenway at Westmoreland Road yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 McDowell Creek Greenway at Westmoreland Road
“Beautiful Greenway with several off-shoots into local neighborhoods and shopping centers.”
“A Very quiet peaceful greenway to navigate with heavily shaded sections north of birkdale village area”
Beautiful Greenway with several off-shoots into local neighborhoods and shopping centers. It really feels like you've accomplished something once you've made it from Birkdale all the way to Catawba Ave. Be aware, some of the sides trails are very muddy
Nice groomed trail that is peaceful to walk with beautiful views. Trail is easy, and you can get 5k to 7k of steps in.
***Westmoreland entrance...Nice paved trail.. easy walk and lots of greenery. There are clean park benches if you want to relax. Paths are wide enough to accommodate walkers and bikers. There are no restroom facilities.
