Description

This greenway segment is part of a 6-mile network of trails and sidewalks in Davidson. The wide paved trail accommodates walkers, runners, and bikers. This trail winds along a pleasant creek and through neighborhoods in the town of Davidson. Occasional benches line the trail and provide comfortable resting spots for trail visitors. The city of Cornelius extended the greenway into the Antiquity neighborhood. So now the community can enjoy a 8.5-mile multi-jurisdictional hike or ride from Antiquity Greenway to the West Branch Nature Preserve Trail.

Expanding the Carolina Thread Trail in rural communities takes a different approach than in urban centers. Even though the Village of Misenheimer is tiny (only 650 residents as of the last census), they have an outsized commitment to building the Thread Trail.
