McGalliard Creek Bridge

The McGalliard Creek Bridge is an incredible wooden suspension bridge in Valdese that connects McGalliard Falls Park and Valdese Lakeside Park via a 2-mile greenway trail. The Bridge itself is worth the trip to Valdese to check out and allows access to the two parks mentioned above (which we have also enjoyed exploring). You can park at either Park to reach the Bridge (we parked near McGalliard Falls Park when we went). We love to see these community projects come together!

@thesociableadventurer Valdese, NC, is a quaint town with a beautiful downtown area and growing parks and recreation sites. Valdese Lakeside Park is a 300-acre piece of property developed for recreational use, and it includes 8.5 miles of hiking and biking trails, a kayak launch, a dog park, a picnic area, and space for fishing. We took the 2-mile greenway and crossed the 160-foot suspension bridge to McGalliard Falls Park, where we explored McGalliard Falls, a 40-foot waterfall, and the 1906 Meytre Grist Mill. @Visit NC @DiscoverTheCarolinas @Discover_Burke_County @Year of the Trail #Valdese #ValdeseNC #BurkeCounty #BurkeCountyNC #McGalliardFalls #McGalliardFallsPark #ValdeseLakesidePark #BurkeOut #visitnc #mync #celebratenc #celebratingnc #bestofthetarheelstate #explorenc #explorelocal #discoverthecarolinas #discovercarolinas #NC #paddlenc #paddletrail #waterfall #chasingwaterfalls #waterfallnc #lovenc #BestoftheTarheelState #NC #NorthCarolina #greattrailsstate #greattrailsnc #yearofthetrail #hikenc ♬ Sing of the Forest – Amanda Rosa
