Following renovations, the Big Creek Greenway Phase 2 trail and trailhead at Union Hill (5259 Union Hill Rd.) will be reopening for public use on Saturday, April 1. 

This portion of the Greenway has been closed since May 2020 for ground-up renovations that include an upgraded decking design on approximately one mile of existing boardwalk from the Union Hill Trailhead to Fowler Park (mile markers 3.5-4.5). 

The reopening of this section will give residents the opportunity to stroll, bike or run on any portion of the 16 miles of Greenway trails spanning from Halcyon to Sawnee Mountain Preserve. 

“With the arrival of warmer weather this spring, we expect many Forsyth County residents will be using the Greenway with friends and family,” said Parks and Recreation Interim Director, Laura Pate. “We are excited to announce that this portion of the Greenway is back open, and we appreciate the public’s patience during the renovation period.” 

Other Greenway trailheads open for public use are located at: 

• Halcyon Trailhead: 6265 Cortland Walk 
• Fowler Park Trailhead: 4110 Carolene Way  
• Bethelview Trailhead: 5120 Bethelview Rd. 
• Sawnee Mountain Preserve Trailhead: 4075 Spot Rd.
