Confirmed from Statesville Greenway - Fourth Creek Trailhead'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.

Good place to walk and it connects to the the soccer complex and playgrounds. They have new gym playground equipment here as well.

★★★★☆ — Ken , Nov 2021

So many enjoyable things here during my workouts! Ive always felt safe, and my halfway point is the fitness center at the end of the trail from the broad st access point. 😀 the beautiful views and enjoying other peoples pets make the entire 5 miles a pleasant experience.

★★★★★ — Irene , Oct 2022

Nice walking, running, biking or roller blade trail. Paved trails through some wooded some very open near the soccer fields areas. We biked 8 miles back tracking as flooding blocked the low area crossing the creek. Nice day! Restrooms available near the really nice playground.

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.
