Greenways provide a wide variety of personal and communitylevel benefits. Key benefits include connectivity and access, health, economic impact and access to nature and environmental preservation. High Point currently has over 11 miles of paved greenway trail along with walking loops, a track, natural surface trails and a cross country course.
