McAlpine Creek Park Lake

Highlight • Lake

One of my favorite bike routes in all of Charlotte. Has gravel, gravel/paved, and paved (no advanced trails; those are for hiking only). So beautiful and so much fun to ride.

Tree tunnel

Highlight • Forest

The greenway takes a brief detour from the sun to immerse you in an arched tree canopy that stretches over the path. A bench offers a beautiful shaded spot for a water break.
