This greenway and park were so impressive, beautifully done & clean, bathrooms & trails with clear maps. We felt like we were so delighted to find this special place, hard to believe we were 5 min from the shopping areas. We hope everyone living here realizes how lucky they are!

This trail is amazing spanning Wake County all the way to Johnston. Starts at Falls Dam and goes farther than I’ve yet to discover. Was able to train for many distance races of the half and full marathon variety. Course does not overwhelm with hills which is impressive considering the area. Plenty of access points in neighborhoods and running beside river is pretty cool experience. Only issue I have encountered is low spots can get a little wet and during cold months that means ice.

Oh my goodness, we LOVED our experience at Dead Broke Farm!! My daughter (age 11) came for a week of summer camp, and she has enjoyed it so much! Everyone at the farm has been so kind and encouraging, and this was a big deal because my daughter had never been on a horse before. She was instantly at ease, and she has loved every minute of it. Today is the last day of camp, and my daughter is truly sad to see it come to an end. This will DEFINITELY become an annual tradition!
