チャタム郡のおすすめライド

This is a super good recreation trail built along an abandoned tobacco railway line. Hence it is aptly named the American Tobacco Trail. It's a 22.6-mile long Rails-to-Trails project that crosses through Durham County, Chatham County, and Wake County. It has a variety of facilities and connector trailheads along the way. Riders routinely ride the entire length of the ATT with a road bike. Gatorskin tires will hold up very well. Especially so if you have 28-32mm tires on. Watch out for runners and other trail users!

Passing through Saxapahaw, you’ll ride alongside the Haw River and past the old mill buildings. It’s an easy place to pull over, access the riverfront, use public restrooms, or grab food and water.

Far end can get sandy after rain!

Great way to connect with nature.
