Confirmed from Neuse Crossing Connector Bridge'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.
Greenway walkway featuring a suspension bridge that spans a river.

Love the serenity and the beauty of walking in the trails in the triangle area
Finally! Those of us living on the east side of Highway 401/Louisburg Road can get to the Neuse River Nature Trail without having to get in our cars! Thanks to the city's work to renovate Mitchell Mill Rd and adding this little bit of trail, you can now walk, jog, run, or bike to get to Horseshoe Park or any…
Fun place to visit. My granddaughter rode her bike. My daughter & I walked the trail. Really fun & interesting.
