Mountains-to-Sea Trail-Guilford County Farm
Made possible by the work of the Friends of the MST, this trail stretches 1,175 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks, stopping at many of our state’s most beautiful places along the way. 680 miles of the route are on trail, and connecting backroads and an optional paddle route allow hikers to trek across the state.
The County Farm segment currently includes 2.2 miles of beautiful trail that traverses pasture, crop land and wood land, along with several creek crossings and stunning rock outcroppings. Plans for additional mileage are already underway.
Atlantic-Yadkin Greenway- Bur-Mil Park
Pedestrians can access the Atlantic-Yadkin Greenway next to the Bur-Mil Park Wildlife Education Center. The Greenway is a paved trail that leads to the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. There is a great view of Lake Brandt from the H. Michael Weaver Bridge. Many different native plants, wild flowers, pines, and mixed hardwoods make this trail quite scenic. If you wish to take a detour off of the paved Greenway, you can venture onto one of the unpaved Watershed Trails. Both the Nathanael Greene Trail and the Owl’s Roost Trail intersect the Greenway.
Bicentennial Greenway- Gibson Park
The Bicentennial Greenway, a collaborative effort between Guilford County and the City of Greensboro brings a regional trail to the Triad. The 14.5 miles trail is a combination of asphalt and gravel. The Bicentennial Greenway is a multiple-use trail. Bicycles are allowed and encouraged. The Bicentennial Greenway is open daily from sunrise to sunset. The trail can be accessed from Gibson Park.
Bur-Mil Permanent Orienteering Course
Orienteering is a land navigational sport where a map and compass are used to find checkpoints (controls). Orienteering uses a topographical map that shows elevation change with light dotted lines called contour lines. This orienteering course is in the outdoors and un-monitored and should be practiced under adult supervision.
