Kingfisher Trail – Greensboro, NC

The Kingfisher Trail in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a scenic pathway that winds through the city’s natural landscape. As part of the extensive watershed trail network, this trail is named after the vibrant kingfisher birds that inhabit the area. It is an ideal spot for walking, jogging, or cycling, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The trail meanders through lush greenery alongside creeks and connects to other popular trails in the region, making it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. It also provides opportunities for wildlife observation, allowing visitors to see native birds, turtles, and various small animals in their natural habitats. The trail is a roughly 10-mile out-and-back trail. We parked at the Blue Heron Trail parking lot on Yanceyville Road and walked across the street to the Kingfisher Trailhead, but be cautious walking across the road.
