Overview:
Charlotte's original Greenway Park, McAlpine Creek Greenway, built in 1978, was the first public greenway trail ever acquired and built in the western piedmont of North Carolina.
Campbell Creek Greenway runs along a headwater tributary to McAlpine Creek between Margaret Wallace Road and Harris Boulevard. Parking is available off of Margaret Wallace or at the McAlpine Creek Greenway headquarters off of Monroe Road. If you think of it, look for the remains of abandoned turn-of-the century Lucas family grist mill midway along the trail!
