By far, the Neuse River Greenway is the gem of the Raleigh area bicycling paths. Running alongside the Neuse River from Falls Lake to the town of Clayton, it is as scenic as anywhere in the suburban reaches of Raleigh. The trail surface is perfectly smooth and unaffected by tree roots. The transition from pavement to bridge tread has been smoothed as well. It is signed well with mileage markers every quarter mile and interpretive signs to enhance the experience.
A former mill's dam has been removed here, proving a nice scenic stopping point.
It sure looks like this bridge is crooked but its not. A couple of suspension bridges grace the greenway. Having the funds to build such bridges must have delighted a creative architect.
Great Blue Herons ply the waters of the Neuse. This guy must be accustomed to us bicyclists since it did not make a move until I was ready and focused. Looks like a got one shot off before it jumped.
