Carolina Thread Trail
The Carolina Thread Trail is a regional network of greenways and trails that will reach 15 counties and 2.3 million citizens. It will link people, places, cities, towns and attractions. It will link lives.
The trail will preserve our natural areas and will be a place for exploration of nature, culture, science and history, for family adventures and celebrations of friendship. It will be for young, old, athlete and average. This is a landmark project. A legacy that will give so much, to so many, for so long.
The Carolina Thread Trail will develop over time as communities build trails that will eventually link parks, green spaces and attractions throughout the region. Not all local trails and greenways will become part of the Carolina Thread Trail. Analogous to our highway systems, The Thread will develop as a "green interstate" focused on linking local trails and regionally significant attractions.
Trails in each community will have their own identities. Designation as the Carolina Thread Trail will signify that a particular trail is part of a plan to create an interconnected system, a plan created by local communities working together with their neighbors to identify connection points and to build trails that will grow together over time.
As threads of the Carolina Thread Trail are created, they will be shown under each county's link. Currently, you can find many of the interesting attractions within the 15-county region that could be linked by The Thread.
We invite local goverments to show their support by adopting the Carolina Thread Trail Resolution.
