c Cary Greenways
With more than 80 miles of greenways throughout
the town, Cary links neighborhoods, parks, schools,
and open spaces and also connects to the expansive
Triangle Greenway system. Our greenways are an
environmental, economic, and recreational resource for
all to enjoy.
Greenways enhance our lives in many ways by:
• Providing a recreational amenity for walking, jogging,
and bicycling in a natural setting
• Preserving pristine open space to enhance Cary's
quality of life
• Linking our neighborhoods with parks, schools,
community centers, and other neighborhoods
• Controlling stormwater runoff, curb erosion, and
minimizing flooding
• Improving Cary's water quality by buffering streams,
filtering pollutants, and recharging our groundwater
Most trails are paved and generally located in floodplain
areas and along wooded stream corridors.
The standard greenway trail is 10-foot-wide asphalt.
Cary greenways and trails are open from sunrise to
sunset. Keep in mind when trying to locate a greenway
trail that parking is not always available and parking
on streets may be required
to access trails. Please be
considerate of private property
nearby when parking.
