About This Event
Join the Greenway Gals for a group hike along the McAlpine Creek Greenway, a corridor known for its natural beauty and wildlife sightings.
We’ll meet and park at James Boyce Park and head out together on the greenway. This hike is a great opportunity to move your body, spend time outside, and connect with other Greenway Gals while exploring one of the area’s most established trail systems.
As advocates for the Thread Trail, we need your help to grow our group, so please plan to bring a guest!

-
Trail surface: Crushed Gravel, Pavement
- Parking: 300 Boyce Rd, Charlotte, NC 28211

About the Trail:
The McAlpine Creek greenway will delight nature enthusiasts. With 188 documented species of birds along the trail and nearby populations of otters and beavers, trail visitors can enjoy recreating in a wildlife-rich area. The land around the trail also hosts Mecklenburg County's only population of a native Lakespur (Delphinium tricorne), a very rare, purple wildflower that blooms in the spring.
The McAlpine Creek Greenway was constructed it in 1978, making it the first public greenway constructed in North Carolina's western Piedmont. Along the trail, visitors can find the ruins of the Lucas Family Grist Mill, a mill constructed in the early 1900s.
