Description
Parking along the road is available at the starting point. Nice wide and paved path. This is an out and back path in both directions from the parking area. Relatively flat, but a few ups and downs. The trail is located in a liner city park along Highway 221 in Rutherfordton, NC. There are plans to extend the trail to Kiwanis Park. There are a couple of covered picnic tables next to the trail.
