Confirmed from NMB Nature Trail'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.
Level walking trails, including a 2.5-mile loop, through the woods, some of which is mulched.
What runners say about NMB Nature Trail
“It's so well maintained and a beautiful walk.”
“It's so well maintained and a beautiful walk.”
“It's not very quiet or serene.”
A beautiful area, nice hike for 2.5 miles. I wish the Gold trail was open.
This trail, as well and the land that the water treatment plant, is surrounded by what used to be the Peter Horry Wildlife Preserve before being sectioned off to private owners and the treatment plant. There still might be the old brown sign for it off hwy 90.
So much fun walking and biking here with my family. Great place for a relaxing stroll or bike ride not strenuous or hilly.
Nice trail for hiking. Really beautiful nature and southern pines. Happy I didn’t see any bears.
