Planning a Weekend Morning on the Mallard Creek Greenway

Start with the official map

Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation publishes greenway maps and posts closures. Look there first to choose a trailhead with parking and to confirm the segment you want is open.

After heavy rain

Creek-side greenways can flood or collect debris after storms. If there's been significant rain, check for closures and give the trail a day.

What to bring

• Water — summer mornings warm up fast
• A charged phone with the map saved
• A bell if you're cycling

Etiquette

Keep right, pass on the left, and announce yourself. Keep dogs leashed and clean up after them.
