We’ll take it nice and easy on this Sunday Stroll and frequently pause to observe the plants and wildlife or discuss the local ecology and history of this beautiful area. After the leaf fall of Autumn, the winter forest leaves much to admire as the undergrowth retreats and the bugs no longer bother. This event is family friendly and we’ll have interactive environmental activities for kids to do as folks arrive at the trailhead.

The Four Mile Creek Greenway section of the Carolina Thread Trail connects hundreds of homes to Matthews Elementary and downtown Matthews, and also protects over a mile of Four Mile Creek. The trail will continue on down Four Mile Creek to McAlpine Creek (over a dozen miles downstream!).
