American Tobacco Trail from Southern Terminus is a 22.1 mile heavily trafficked point-to-point trail located near New Hill, North Carolina that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Well-maintained trail, plenty of room for distancing, perfect way to start the year.
I prefer this trail from Herndon Park to the southern entrance in New Hill as an out and back ride. It has bathrooms, water fountains, well maintained rest areas and even a tool repair center for your bike. Past mile 10 to 0 there are many more roads to cross, which are busier. You leave the beauty of nature and enter a more city like environment. There was also a detour on our last few northern miles which was confusing and lead us out onto the road. The lower portion of the trail varies from paved to a natural, mostly packed ground. I enjoy this trail very much and am sad to see more housing being built so close to the trail.
While we enjoyed this trail today on our bikes it’s also a nice easy path for walking.
Bike ride- super cool and breezy on a hot hot day. Passed 3 people :)
