Piedmont Greenway Master Plan - Town of Kernersville

Segment 10: Reedy Fork Creek
to Highway 68 Underpass
As the trail continues north, the alignment of the trail in close proximity to the creek channel will allow
users to enjoy the riparian forestlands of this segment. The trail will travel wholly within the flood zone to
maximize the rural character of the creek.
Land use in this section is low density housing and active farms. There is a significant number of
equestrian enthusiasts that either own farmland along this segment or live in close proximity to it.
The trail will be a multi-use corridor that will accommodate pedestrian, biking and equestrian uses.
The primary trail will be 10 feet wide for all users but equestrians. A 2- to 5-foot-wide crushed granite dust
trail parallel to the main trail, and separated by a vegetated barrier is proposed for equestrians.
There is an opportunity to provide a loop trail in the
future that would link this segment with Beaver Creek to the
north (which parallels Reedy Fork Creek). This segment of
the trail system is approximately 2.6 miles in length. Three
bridges will be needed to span small drainage tributaries of the
main channel. The northern bank will be the primary location
of the trail in order to minimize creek crossings and maximize
future links to residential areas.
