A local's guide to Charlotte, North Carolina

Little Sugar Creek Greenway

Need to forget you’re in a city for a moment? The Little Sugar Creek Greenway winds along the edge of Uptown with quiet, creekside views. A 1.29-mile stretch of the city’s nearly 50 miles of greenways, the Little Sugar Creek Greenway connects the Elizabeth neighborhood with Park Road Shopping Center. Park on Metropolitan Avenue, then rent a bike or take a run in the early morning with many Charlotteans, or explore neighborhoods like Cherry and Dilworth. You’ll find art dotting the walk.

BTW: Make it a five-mile food tour by stopping at restaurants with patios: Grab a late-morning coffee and treat at Earl’s Grocery, then stop for appetizers at, heading south, Dressler’s, Kid Cashew and Sir Edmond Halley’s.
