Biking the Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail


Sandwiched between wedding events Labor Day weekend, I rode this rail trail from Dunn to Erwin and back. The track was abandoned in 1998 and the trail created shortly thereafter. Conditionwise, this trail was only in fair shape. Weeds are encroaching in many spots. The other unappealing thing is the number of road crossing. The trail is only 5 miles long but probably has 10 crossings.


The above bridges avert a busy road crossing.
