Bicentennial Greenway (4.9 miles)
 Surface: Asphalt / Gravel
Traffic: Multiple Use
The Bicentennial Greenway, a collaborative effort between
Guilford
County
and the City of Greensboro brings a regional trail to the Triad. Approximately five miles of the northern section of the trail is maintained by the Trails Division of the City's Parks & Recreation Department. The trail has gone through several stages of development since its inception in 1989. Approximately seven miles of the Bicentennial Trail are completed in the High Point area (from Piedmont Environmental Center to Highway 68). Eventually, the two trail segments will converge, providing a 20-mile greenway that connects the City of High Point to the City of Greensboro.
How do I get there?
The Bicentennial Greenway can be accessed just west of the Lewis Recreation Center at 3110 Forest Lawn Drive. Enter at the Country Park entrance on Pisgah Church Road, east of Battleground Avenue, and make an immediate left. Parking is available on the west side of Lewis Center. The Bicentennial Greenway travels northwest along Old Battleground Road and then changes direction southwest through wooded open space. Cross Battleground Avenue and take the sidewalk along Drawbridge Parkway to Kernodle Middle School. Follow the trail signs across the road into the woods to its current terminus near Horse Pen Creek Road.
Connections:
From the intersection of the Bicentennial Greenway and Lake Brandt Road in Greensboro, you can connect to the Lake Brandt Greenway leading out to Bur Mil Park. The Nat Green Trail and Palmetto Trail are also accessible from the greenway (see map for details). Guilford Courthouse National Military Park trails are accessible from the Bicentennial Greenway with parking available on Old Battleground Road.
Please Note:
The Bicentennial Greenway is a multiple-use trail. Bicycles are allowed and encouraged on the Bicentennial Greenway. The Bicentennial Greenway is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
