Mallard and Clark’s Creek Greenway features a 5.5 mile paved path that can be accessed at several points along the trail. The ride is slightly uphill if you’re heading north from the park, making for a great return trip —- we were 12 minutes faster on the way back. The Charlotte Park’s Department website has more info on this trail and the network of other greenways (existing and planned) in and around the city.
