**Trails are partially open. Please respect caution tape for closed trails.**
This greenway is a series of beautiful, wooded trails along the banks of the Broad River, winding up around Jolly Mountain and Flint Hill. There are nearly 13-miles of interconnected trails of varying distances and difficulty. Many of the trails see extensive equestrian use and do tend to hold water in wet seasons. There is a small user fee for visitors who are not residents of Cleveland County, but there is ample parking and restrooms at the trailhead. Trails are marked well.
More information can be found at the park website: broadrivergreenway.com/
The park can also be used as a put-in or take-out for paddling. See more detailed information on our Broad River Paddle Trail page.
