MOUNTAIN BIKING
The first phase of the greenway (a 10 foot-wide, mostly paved urban trail), was completed in 2003; it connected Blue Ridge Community College to the City Sports Complex and the Transylvania County Activity Center.
Since that time, the greenway system has grown considerably; a continuous segment now connects the Art Loeb Trail in Pisgah National Forest to Mclean Road, near Calvary Baptist Church.
A segment connects Brevard Elementary and the Boy's and Girls Club to Brevard High School along Gallimore Road, a short segment can be found within the Cadence Point subdivision off Forest Hills Drive, and the most recently completed segment connects Oskar Blues and the Cherry Street neighborhood to the original path near Transylvania Regional Hospital.
Altogether, the City of Brevard's urban greenway system is approximately 6 miles long, with much more planned for future construction.
When completed, the greenway will extend from Pisgah National Forest to downtown Brevard and Brevard High School, thus tying our recreation areas, schools, neighborhoods, and shops together in a continuous network that promotes health and fitness and provides opportunities for recreation and non-motorized transportation.
