Little Sugar Creek Greenway, Urban trail network in Charlotte, United States.
The Little Sugar Creek Greenway is a network of paved pathways extending roughly 19 miles through eastern Charlotte, linking different neighborhoods together. The trail follows the creek's natural course and provides access from multiple starting points across the city.
The project began in the early 2000s when Charlotte decided to improve water quality and create public recreational space. This was part of a broader effort to manage urban growth and rebuild connections between people and nature in the city.
Local residents and visitors use the trail to walk, run, and bike while exploring their neighborhoods on foot. The artworks and signs along the way tell stories about the community and how nature fits into city life.
The trail is accessible from multiple locations including East 4th Street and Park Road Park, both offering parking. Since the route is relatively flat with consistent paving throughout, it works well for people of all fitness levels.
The trail intentionally weaves through both busy urban zones and restored forest sections, demonstrating how conservation works within a growing city. Many visitors are surprised by this mix, not expecting to move between developed areas and woodland so quickly along the same path.
