Local Rides for new cyclists 

Hinshaw Greenway: Explore two parks and cross a “giant” bridge on this 1.7-mile greenway trail. It connects MacDonald Woods Park with the Kids Together Playground at Marla Dorrel Park, with a bike and pedestrian bridge crossing over US 1/64.

Cary Park Lake Greenway: This 1.9-mile greenway winds around Cary Park Lake. For those looking for a longer ride, continue south from the lake, along the Southbridge Greenway which connects to a street-side trail along Morrisville Parkway, or ride to nearby Mills Park.

I already cycle (longer rides) 

White Oak Creek Greenway: This over 7 mile east to west connection across Cary has some of the newest sections of trail in town, and connects numerous parks and schools on the eastern section. As it extends west, you’ll forget the nearby neighborhoods as you ride past scenic streams, wetlands, and natural areas ultimately connecting with the American Tobacco Trail.   

American Tobacco Trail: Hit three counties in one ride! The popular 23-mile American Tobacco Trail begins in Apex, passes through Cary, and extends all the way to Durham. Built on an old railroad bed, the trail remains flat, as it passes through residential areas, by farm fields, past streams, and ponds, and even shopping and dining areas near Southpoint.
