About The Downtown Strollway

Distance: 1.2 Miles

The Winston-Salem Strollway is a perfect downtown walk. You get to walk through a historic site, see the city’s beautiful skyline, and walk on a crushed-stone path reminiscent of famous parks worldwide. The Strollway helps to link Winston-Salem’s modern downtown with historic Old Salem. The first segment sends you underneath I-40 while you’ll reach the Old Salem Visitor Center a half-mile later. A half-mile beyond the visitor center, the Strollway ends at West Salem Avenue and connects you with the beautifully paved and long Salem Creek Greenway.
