Duke Wall is a 1.9 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Durham, North Carolina that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for walking, trail running, and birding and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

November 15, 2020September 14, 2020It's an OK go-to trail for running if you live in the neighborhood, but it has gotten a lot more crowded since the pandemic. People are lax about wearing a mask, even though there are signs everywhere claiming they are required. I fault Duke for having conflicting messages about this on their website. If you are a runner and tired of dodging huge packs of walkers or dogs on retractable leashes, there are much better options: Duke Forest, American Tobacco Trail, the Eno trails, and several land conservancy trails, just to name a few.

June 10, 2020Enjoyable, flat in city trail. Always lots of people.
April 24, 2020It’s good for running and others but it’s hard to look for a parking spot
April 24, 2020October 7, 2019Great flat walk in town. Nice gravel but watch out for glass. Pretty busy but lots of open space. Not great for an excitable or anxious dog.
August 18, 2019Big, beautiful squared green space with Duke Unv. buildings centrally located and lots of trees which we are walking under in the mid morning dew bc the perimeter walled path, although wide and nicely kept with fine gravel, is for the most part, not shaded and is too hot for my doggo in this summer heat. Only a few gnats under trees, no mosquitos, so we are super happy!
August 14, 2019During summer less crowded because school is out. Nice trail!
September 29, 2018Nice flat walk, packed gravel is easy to walk on, and lighted for evening walks. Some sections can be muddy after a rain storm. Finding parking can be difficult. Grass not trimmed and a lot of glass on the sidewalks. Be careful of pups paws.

January 1, 2017My older daughter spent three weeks last summer on the Duke East Campus taking a summer course. The rest of the family had fun on our two visits walking and exploring the area, as well as the larger West Campus.

First to ReviewGreat place for jog or casual walk. Trail access located right across from Whole Foods and it's a perfect place to get some exercise on your lunch break. Can get somewhat crowded but people are always friendly and you should always feel safe here. Only downside is the trail is not paved but rather dirt/gravel. Also they are currently building what seems to be a new sports facility within the loop which occupies a huge space and takes away from the aesthetics
