Clark's Creek Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This 2.5-mile trail follows the creek of the same name. It's a great trail for walkers, but it's for cyclists, too. One of the most interesting things about this trail is a short segment of boardwalk over wetlands.

If you want to keep biking longer, you can connect from this trail to the Mallard Creek Greenway.

Mallard Creek and Clarks Creek Greenways Intersection

Highlight • Trail

This spot is where Clarks Creek and Mallard Creek Greenways intersect. Both Greenways are popular outdoor destinations, especially during late summer and early fall when birds and butterflies are abundant. These greenways offer plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife such as great blue herons, gray foxes, white-tailed deer, and a diverse range of birds throughout the year. These multi-use paths are a mix of gravel, pavement, and the occasional bridge and are enjoyed by joggers, walkers, bikers, rollerbladers, and skateboarders. These two greenways have multiple neighborhood connections, making them easily accessible and a great way to get around the University City area. The Clarks Creek and Mallard Creek Greenways stretch over 7.40 miles, making longest greenway in the area. They are a part of the Cross-Charlotte Trail, a collaborative effort between Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte to create a 26-mile continuous trail for people to enjoy for both recreation and commuting.
