american tobacco trail印象

Used this trail many times and started different places. I love the paved sections for biking. This entire trail is tremendous.

I went over the new bridge over I-40 and rode the northern section for the 1st time yesterday into downtown Durham. I loved being able to finish my ride with a vegetarian burrito bowl and cold beer at the new Moe's Southwest Grill at American Tobacco. This location has $2 Rolling Rock pints.

Went for a hike on The Trail with a few dogs and a few friends today. The air was crisp and the trail was not too busy. A few other pups, peeps and bikers were there. The trail is well maintained and is an easy walk with no hills or obstructions. There are several places to park and get on the trail and easy access from the trail heads. I have heard that there were some car break ins so take your valuables with you or lock them up in the truck before you get there. The trail is very safe and usually fairly well used. There is an old tobacco building around mile marker 4 or so. It has an historic marker and info panel along the trail that explains how it was used when the trail was used to bring tobacco to market. Interesting!

We usually park at the Wimberly Road parking area. I ride the bike 8 - 10 miles while my wife walks. The Apex potion of the trail is very scenic and safe. Their is almost a northern aura about the trail as very few walkers, bikers or runners make eye contact.

great for an offroad run. Please be prepared for the humidity, so bring water or/and electrolyte drinks.

My husband and I came here a few years ago for a hike. It was nice and parts of it are paved. Although, this place is not very safe after dark. I wouldn't recommend going alone.

We love the American Tobacco Trail, and visit one of the many segments regularly. It is a wide, flat trail laid over an abandoned railroad bed, stretching from western Wake County to Durham. The trail is open to walkers/hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. There are several access points with parking, and restrooms at some. The southern portions of the trail (in Wake county) are packed gravel, while further north the trail is half paved/half packed gravel, and other parts are fully paved. We stick to the southern parts of the trail, and avoid Durham, however, since it is far from our home, and because of assaults on the trail near Durham - rare but they have happened despite extra patrols. That, and lack of restrooms at many parking areas, mean I can give the trail only 4 stars vs 5.

The trail is open from Apex to Durham. We spent the day on a 50+ mile round trip bike ride. A perfect way to spend the day with my wife!

As for many others, this is a reclaimed railroad bed. I believe it extends about 24 miles from Wake county outside of Apex to into downtown Durham. I've ridden mainly the southern portion. Level crushed stone wide trail. Southern portion goes over some swamp areas with visible beaver damns etc. Public areas at various points with restrooms etc. So far always has seemed safe and it is well used. Downside? After heavy rains the crushed stone path will have some areas of not-so-good drainage and therefore a bit messy to bike through. Moving into Durham county trail is asphalt paved. Some very mild grades...but good for aerobic workout biking. Trail is shared with walkers, kids, dogs, and occasionally horseback riders (only animal on the trail that doesn't pick up after itself!)

The trail is well maintained and great for walking, jogging, or biking. If you start at the south end, it is a long gradual uphill grade. Very peaceful with lots of natural beauty. Busier on the weekend as would be expected.
