Morganton’s greenway is a wonderful stretch of paved walking/biking trail that runs along the river for several miles. It passes through shady and sunny areas, with gently curves and slight rises that make for an interesting stroll. There are several different places to park and gain access to the trail, most of which are also near playgrounds or shopping areas, and all of them are free. It was one of the many amenities that drew us to the community, and it is well used by all ages - safe and fun!

Overall I was very very impressed with the trails. They are very very well marked and they're a lot of fun. It was a great workout doing the grape smugglers trail which is about two miles. I can also see where this would be a great mountain biking place. The only issue that I had was getting up to the trails themselves. Once you get onto the access road which is narrow for one car and it's one way in and out, it's a bit of a steep climb after the parking area. The path is not paved and had it rained I likely would have needed a four-wheel drive truck to get up there. not really sure you would want to take a sedan on that patch to get up to the top, there are plenty of areas they have significant bumps and lots of ups and downs, my SUV made it just fine being a two-wheel drive but again it was dry conditions. Once you get up there though, it's an absolute gem of a place. Plenty of thick canopy, I do suggest some insect repellent, but beautiful creeks and waterways, just a really great hike, and it's wonderful that there are multiple trails that you can choose from short and easy too long and medium difficulty.

We hiked the Buffalo Creek Park 3.5 mile loop. The trail is shared by bikers and hikers and is well marked so that hikers head in one direction and bikers in the opposite which varies on different days of the week. The hike was moderately strenuous. Trail consisted of dirt, rocks, and tree roots. Great hike which we loved.

We are visiting Asheville and always seeking rails to trails and this is around an hour away. We parked downtown Spindale and started at mile 7 and rode down to mile 0 and turned around. It’s a very pleasant ride with some climb but not too bad. Areas with canopies of trees is quite lovely. My only bad comment is to make you aware that the trail is raised higher than the ground. I have a tendency to hug the right side to avoid those pesky bikers and runners who DO NOT announce their presence. In one area bigger rocks were on the side of the trail and my tires veered off and due to the height and rocks I could not get my bike back up and I went down and got a good scrape on my knee and elbow. Luckily nothing needed stitches and no broken bones. This is not the trails fault it’s just a beware notification. I’m planning to ride the trail again before leaving this area.
