NEW Lower McAlpine Ck Greenway Extension

Although the new lot has been open for weeks, today I was driving down Hwy 51 and noticed the gate closed to the lot for some unforeseen reason. I will change the meeting lot location, but we we will still walk the new portion.

This Saturday will reach the 80s, so let's get out in the morning before the heat!

The new greenway segment is a mile long between highway 51 and Johnston Rd. It has the longest paved ‘boardwalk’ I’ve seen in Charlotte. It is literally ½ mile long. The walkway is wide and the views of the boggy landscape look other-worldly (but so nice to have it right here.)

We will add another couple of miles from the existing greenway for a total of around 4 miles. This walk is a linear trail, so we will walk out and return the way we came. It is considered easy with no elevation change.

Bring water and wear good walking shoes. Dogs on 6’ leash welcome on this walk. The restrooms at the Johnston Rd lot aren't always open so take care of business before coming.

With attending this event you agree to participate at your own risk and Charlotte Piedmont Hiking Club and its leaders will not be liable for any injuries or mishaps.
