Trail Power: Economic study shows how trails benefit communities
For trail users and supporters, it’s no secret that access to the outdoors brings many benefits. Better health for users of course, but also positive economic and environmental impacts for communities. Thanks to a recent study about the Carolina Thread Trail network, we can now assign a monetary value to many of these intangibles.

Use caution on this trail. It is gorgeous, but lots of roots and rocks. Very slippery for a few days after rain. For an easier walk, stay low at the fork. Enjoy the new overlook on the lower portion, about .6 miles in from the parking area.
