Bicentennial Greenway

The Bicentennial Greenway is an amazing trail running through Greensboro and High Point. Approximately eight miles of the northern section runs through Greensboro and an additional seven miles run from the Piedmont Environmental Center to Highway 68 in High Point.

About Bicentennial Greenway

Distance: 14.5 Miles

The Bicentennial Greenway combines off-road asphalt and sidewalks that run through residential neighborhoods, pine and hardwood forests, parks, and more. It connects to both shopping areas and schools. It’s open to non-motorized usage, and birding is an exciting activity on the greenway, especially around the Piedmont Environmental Center at the greenway’s southern end. The trail links up with the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway at its northern end. The greenway is still being improved. When complete, the Bicentennial will provide an almost 20-mile greenway that connects the City of High Point to the City of Greensboro.
