Description
The Geitner Trail is a nice paved greenway through a hardwood forest in Hickory, NC. Though not terrribly exciting, this path can be combined with the Hickory City Park Singletrack trail to make loops that will lengthen your outing. Like the Hickory City Park Singletrack, this path is shaded by eastern hardwoods, and you'll enjoy relatively cool temperatures here. This greenway is used during the Charity Chase Half Marathon in June every year as well.
