Great trail. Well marked, well paved, and wide. Some undulations but generally mild slopes. A few spots near the dam steep for a nonalthletic wheel chair or baby stroller but one can get by with a little help from a friend or use alternate entrances.

Our teens and I went for an 18-mile ride in March. The trail is flat and easy, great for exercise or a family outing. People along the trail waved at us as we rode by, making it the friendliest bike trail we have ever encountered. It was a beautiful day, but everything was dormant so there wasn't much to see. We saw a few birds, but had hoped to see more wildlife. Wildflowers were few and far between. From some vents, there is a sewer smell, and the river looks dirty. I wouldn't get into the water myself.

Does anyone know if there are any future plans to extend the length above the Falls Dam?

B Grauer | Jan 9, 2019
Banks Dixon | Jan 10, 2019

I don't believe there are plans to have any paved trail (like the Neuse River Trail) going above and past the dam. However, the Falls Lake hiking trail goes along the entire length of the lake above the dam. This trail is part of the North Carolina Mountains to Sea Trail.
