    This is a special place. I love working out here, long walks, bike rides, picnic tables and benches. Sometimes you'll see squirrels and deer; be careful of the bugs and snakes. There's multiple routes and they all look different depending on the season, you won't regret it!

    I find this trail good for biking , walking and running. Lots of greenery and maximum part of the trail is covered with trees from both side. So no worries you can walk run any time of the day..

    Walked this nice trail over the weekend. Covered almost 6 miles, from McMullen Creek, past McAlpine Creek, all the way to Four Mile Creek. Took 4 hours to walk back and forth(12miles). Quite many different types of animals and insects along the way. Lots of people using this Greenway on the weekend.

    I love going to McMullen Creek Greenway! The views are beautiful! It is always clean. It's eight miles out and back. At the four mile post you can continue on to the 4 Mile Greenway for extra miles. Please look out for Patrick and call the owner!

    The closest you will get to nature in Charlotte without driving far. It's a easy trail to ride bicycles on. There are a lot of trees so there is a lot of shade.

    Trail varies from gravel to wooden boardwalk to pavement. Has a few hills but overall, decent for a run and great for a bike ride if you make it all the way to Rea road and back.

    Nice path but know this isn't a park, its just a nice long path with people's houses on both sides. Their back lawns go literally up to the path. Like strolling through the neighbors backyard.

    We love to hike and often take day trips to the mountains on the weekends. This weekend we didn't have time for that though, so we came here to still get outside. While I wouldn't call it hiking, it's still fun to explore the greenways. We parked at the lot off of Pineville Matthews Road and walked about two miles to the next parking lot (between the two 485 under passes). The trail is very flat and easy. We saw a lot of runners. It would also be a great place to bike. There's a fairly long boardwalk (that was a little slippery after rain and with the leaves on it). This portion passes a couple of marshy areas which are pretty and you can get glimpses of the creek. The fall colors were pretty as well. This is a great outdoor space in the city and we're looking forward to exploring the rest of the greenway and the other greenways in the city.

    Love going on walks or taking the kid bike riding. Goes a long way and is both paved and gravel paths. You will get to see deer, turtles, frogs and more. There are restrooms at the parking area and it has a classic park workout space with pull ups, dips and boxes for plyometrics. Dog friendly dly, including a wash/water station so you can get them water and wash them off if they get muddy in some wet spots.
