Here:
https://tarheeltrailblazers.com/trails/col-francis-beatty-park/ Tarheel Trailblazers Protecting improving and maintaining the numerous trail systems available for our use in and around Metro-Charlotte
The kids biked while wife and I ran, got 6+ miles before someone told us the trail was closed. Unfortunately, they have no signage telling us that (nor does their website say it) so we were amongst about 50+ riders we saw out there.

The kids biked while wife and I ran, did the entire yellow route which is right around 6 miles. The kids got REAL tired, but they got pumped when we reminded them they were the ONLY kids out there and most everyone else was 30+ years older than them. I wish I had been able to do this as a kid, I would have LOVED it. They love it for about 4 miles, then get really really tired.

I believe I've biked there, but it wasn't that nice then.

The Tarheel Trailblazers do a lot of nice work, but in the winter I think they have an unwritten rule that if it's rained within 48-72 hours (can't remember) the trail is closed to prevent rutting and erosion.
I still liked the trails at Anne Springs in FTM. Also not sure if they're still there (probably been paved over by now) but I used to ride the trails off Tyvola a few times a week after work. If they're still there, they're fun and kids can handle. If you're. coming from the airport, just look for Bobby Phills' skid marks and hang a left into the park.

The stated rule is 24 hours, we waited 48, but oh well.

I was impressed with the second place for sure, it was great.
The Fort Mill Greenways are members-only crap right now with visitors paying $5 a head on weekdays only (due to Covid) to ride/run. I have run those trails before and we are thinking of joining in order to use them. A $10/month membership makes sense when it would be $25 for us to ride one day.
We keep wanting to ride the USNWC but we only get the all-weather trail. Hopefully everyone in the family wants to keep riding this summer. If not, I can sell three bikes to recoup my losses.

As often as not I'd forget my dough and drop some change from under the seats into the box for posterity.
