Black Creek Greenway is one of the Town's longest and most popular greenways due to its length and connection to other important recreational and open space areas. It now extends continuously for 7.1 miles from Lake Crabtree in the north, starting at the Old Reedy Creek Trailhead across town to the greenway hub at Bond Park.
From there it connects to the White Oak Greenway, which is made up of 4.8 miles of trail sections and will eventually connect to the American Tobacco Trail as a continuous trail over 7 miles in length. The trail surface is 10t wide asphalt and it used for walking, running, bicycling, walking leashed dogs, pushing strollers and wheelchairs. Restrooms are available throughout the trail.
The Black Creek/White Oak trail system within Cary is part of the East Coast Greenway which will eventually go from Maine to Florida.
Parts of Black Creek Greenway are potentially too steep for wheelchair use. Currently, the portion of greenway between Dynasty Drive and North Cary Park is closed.
