Description
This trail runs from the Lake Brandt Marina to the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway. It is technically a mountain bike singletrack that runs beside the Pedestrian-Only Nat Greene Trail. The trail continues for nearly 3.5 miles, hugging the south shore of Lake Brandt. The first 2 miles from the marina have sharp dips, quick turns, and a steady climb before flattening out and winding through the woods to the A&Y Greenway.
