(4.5 stars) I don't get out here as often as I should, but that is because seemingly every time the weather is semi-nice, the PEC's parking lot is full. Of course, it isn't hard to see why. The Piedmont Environmental Center offers a variety of trails that range in length and complexity to accommodate different walkers. There's a good amount of biodiversity, and you never know what interesting creatures you'll encounter on a walk. The lake views are serene, and while the PEC offers a chance to disconnect and enjoy nature for a while, it also offers convenient greenway access. The rather sparse welcome center is admittedly a bit underwhelming, but for the price (FREE!), there is little room for complaint.

View from the trail.

In town visiting family and found this place while looking for a good trail to run. Beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife (saw five deer!) and the trails were marked well. I got one heck of a workout as well. Will definitely visit again after I move to the Greensboro area later this year.

Love this place for daily walks! I just moved here from Arkansas, so I'm easily impressed, but I can't say enough good things about this center, it great!

Really cool trails and doggie bags available for dog walkers. We took our pup on trail #2 recently & he had a blast. My husband loves trekking around too. I only wish the bathrooms inside could be open on weekends. It's very inconvenient to have to go in the woods. (Kidding! Well, mostly.) We will be back soon.

This where the Bicentennial Greenway and the High Point Greenway meet.

The trails are nice and shaded. They seem to be busy with lots of walkers, joggers and such. But in the 20 plus years I have been coming out here not much seems to have been with the welcome center. It meets the basic needs of shelter, seating, vending machines and rest rooms. I just wish it looked more engaging and vibrant. I think it would help in attracting even more interest. It also saddens me that the gift shop area was never revived and reopened.

Pretty good place to go relax and take the kids out to enjoy nature. I normally go here to destress and go on walks.
