Bridge Dedication Information

The Swift Creek Greenway is a 1.03 mile trail constructed of recycled asphalt and is the nation's first greenway to be built completely with recycled products!  This trail runs along the northern border of Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve and an abundance of wildlife can often be viewed while visiting this greenway.  The trailhead is located at Ritter Park, where parking is also provided. 

Directions: From Western Wake Medical Center on Kildaire Farm Road, go south and turn right on Lochmere Drive.  Turn into the park and then follow the parking lot to the left.  The trailhead will be located in the rear of the left parking lot.  Parking is available next to the trailhead in the park.
