Reedy Branch Greenway

Reedy Branch Greenway is a multi-use trail that is made up of boardwalk, asphalt, and sidewalk connections. The greenway extends from Kelly Road to the American Tobacco Trail and continues west to the Deer Creek Subdivision. There are additional segments constructed within Linden, Sweetwater, Huxley, and Smith Farm subdivisions. Recent construction completed a 600 ft gap of trail between Goliath Trail and Lowland Access within the Sweetwater Subdivision, and another project provides access between the site amenity at Smith Farm, connecting Richardson Road with the main corridor. The completion of the Reedy Branch Greenway from Kelly Road to the to the American Tobacco Trail and points west is an important addition to the Town’s Greenways.
