Great trail running along South Fork River. Access is near I85 and also is an access point to the blueway. Trail is 2 miles end to end and the northern access point is in a residential neighborhood. Some ruins of an old bridge are asking route. A nice feature also is the presence of emergency location signs to help connect first responders to locations along the trail. Pretty easy hike.

Nice place for a casual walk near the river. Part od the Carolina Thread Trail, this trail sits in Cramerton. The parking lot is along the trail. One end leads to a basketball court. The other end is a circular trail with a path leading to railroad bridge and river's edge. The field surrounded by the trail is large and open. The trail runs right by a neighborhood. There are also a couple of docks, including a little launch area.

A nice 2.5 mile hiking and biking trail that has several offshoots for more difficult mountain bike trails. It is listed as a moderate trail and ends at Lake Loop Trailhead. Also has a few places where it comes by the lake. About halfway. One can break off and go up the trail by the gas lines if needed for a shorter trek.
