Segment 13: Pleasant Ridge Road Trail Head to Lake Higgins Trail Head The Piedmont Greenway trail will continue northeast passing under the Pleasant Ridge Road Bridge. At this point the trail proceeds northeast along Reedy Fork Creek via a combination of boardwalk and paved trail tread. A pedestrian boardwalk will span the creek's floodplain and wetlands just beyond the bridge for approximately 100 feet. At the end of the boardwalk section, the trail will continue northeast and follow the Reedy Fork ridge line that parallels the creek. One bridge will be needed to span a small drainage tributary. For the most part the trail will stay within the city of Greensboro. However as stated previously, a section of boardwalk will be required or an easement will need to be acquired along a sloping ridge line outside of the city limits. After passing a small tributary, the city-owned land is fenced off from the surrounding neighborhoods to protect the critical watershed area, but there is ample room for a trail in this section that will follow the fence. SEGMENT 13 While completing the field survey, a series of small loop (unpaved) trails were discovered in the adjacent floodplain. The proposed ridge line trail alignment will not allow for users to view Reedy Fork Creek because the creek becomes a rather large braided series of side channels and wetlands from this point until reaching Lake Brandt. This section of trail can provide a loop trail that will offer users the opportunity to view Lake Brandt from a beautiful vantage point as it makes it way to Hamburg Road and the Lake Higgins Trailhead. The trail will be a multi-use corridor that will accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The primary trail will be 10 feet wide for all users. There is an opportunity to provide a connection to the neighborhoods near Oak Forest Road and Horseshoe Road in the future. This segment of the trail system is approximately 1.9 miles in length. One bridge will be needed to span a small drainage tributary of the main channel. The southern ridge line will be the primary location of the trail to help minimize creek disturbance and maximize future links to residential areas.
