One thing about Cary is you can count on them to have clean trails. This one here trumps most Raleigh trails. This trail features lush greenways and breathtaking views. When you enter the Crabtree lake area the sunset is amazing to witness. The trail seems super safe as it doesn't really feature many dark areas. Most of the Black Creek trail is in the back yards of homes. The trail is ideal for walker and runners. Its also great for bikers. I have witnessed hover-boards on the trails but i'm sure they shouldn't be out there as no motor vehicles are allows.

The park is convenient to my home, and the parking here is great.

EVERY park listed online that has access to the greenway is amazing! One of my personal favorites is the East Fork Mine Creek Trail. Be mindful during the warm months that the natural habitants tend to come out and introduce themselves (snakes, deer's) but they don't bother you as long as you don't bother them. The greenway is PERFECT for cycling, running, roller blading, skateboarding, etc. Motor vehicles are not allowed. Remember to yell "bike on the LEFT" as you proceed pass walkers/runners. Have fun exploring the trails and be sure to check out my vids!

I was going for a walk and…read morestumbled upon this park that only had three cars in it, I didn't pass a single person on any of the trails. I really like parks that are not that crowded. There's plenty of parking and a bathroom available, the bathrooms are currently closed due to COVID-19 precautions. There is a trail map that shows the various trails, trails are loops and straight trails, they lead past shelters and a lot of water features, in the woods and a couple come out into pastures. This park is nestled between two roads however you barely hear cars. This is a great place to walk dogs or go for a trail run there is some elevation change if you want a little more of a challenge however the trails are mainly flat and not many rocks. This is not handicap accessible. There are also many bridges and this trail system leads into another local park so you can keep walking walking walking all day long.

I'm not one to ever rate a nature spot badly but I will add one reservation. The walking trails are very tough on the legs. Once free from the entrances, there isn't ten feet of level space walking space. It's an incline/decline roller-coaster chock full of outgrown roots. Your knees have to be in top shape, and you cannot take your eyes off the ground for fear of tripping over roots. Every trail is different. Lake Johnson is almost all wide pavement. Hemlock Bluffs is almost all mulch/dirt. Those are very easy, well-maintained places to walk, by comparison. This set of trails isn't so simple. It's an up/down affair where you must keep your eyes open at all times. All that said, it's got some very scenic spots and it's a great place to take your dog. We enjoy going there often. A.

I visited Rocky Branch Greenway a recent morning while staying nearby for business. I searched and…read morefound it was not too far from the hotel and it being a nice morning to get out and exercise I did just that. I found the trail to be shaded and varying terrain. Some parts flat, but more common were gently hills. The scenery was beautiful, even for parts of the trail along a busy road. I found it a great way to get away from the city and into a little nature. My main complaint would be a lack of good signage. I seemed to be on the trail for the most part but may have gone off into a nearby trail system by accident. Either way I enjoyed the walk/run, the scenery, the available trash bins (as there was some trash I picked up and was appreciative of the bins) and the experience was very pleasant. I'll certainly go again.

I live near downtown, but I don't love running on sidewalks all the time--especially Raleigh's…read moresidewalks, which can be really bumpy, uneven, and easy to trip. And, there are a lot of lights, which can mean a lot of stopping/waiting. Therefore, I was thankful to learn that the Rocky Branch Greenway--part of the Triangle's wonderful trail system--goes within a half mile of most parts of downtown Raleigh! It is a 3.5 mile trail from south of downtown through NC State's campus. You have to cross several roads, including Western Boulevard at a stop light. Parts of it are wooded (passes through part of Pullen Park), part of it are along the NC state athletic facilities, part of it is along Western Boulevard itself (my least favorite stretch), part is near neighborhoods/apartment complexes, and one stretch is in front of a grassy green at the Dorthea Dix campus. I would caution against running it at night because the wooded parts aren't well lit and there are several tunnels. Although parts of this trail can be boring and it isn't very long, it's still nice to have a trail so close to an urban area. And, it is easy to connect from the ends of the Rocky Branch Greenway to other parts of the Capital Greenway--e.g. from the NC State side you can easily get to the Reedy Creek Trail and from the Wilmington Street Side you can get to the Walnut Creek Trail just by going a block up the road (there are signs). I can't imagine doing a longer run from downtown without using it! If you're curious, here's a link to a Wiki with a lot of information and pictures: https://trianglewiki.org/Rocky_Branch_Greenway.
