American Tobacco Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a super good recreation trail built along an abandoned tobacco railway line. Hence it is aptly named the American Tobacco Trail. It's a 22.6-mile long Rails-to-Trails project that crosses through Durham County, Chatham County, and Wake County. It has a variety of facilities and connector trailheads along the way.

Riders routinely ride the entire length of the ATT with a road bike. Gatorskin tires will hold up very well. Especially so if you have 28-32mm tires on. Watch out for runners and other trail users!

Wooden Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice wooden boardwalk on the White Oak Creek Greenway. It takes you over some swamp land and is shared with pedestrians, so make sure you keep an eye out for other trail users.
