Green Mill Run Greenway travels across Greenville, connecting important city attractions and institutions such as East Carolina University and Greensprings Park. About midway along the route, you'll traverse Elm Street Park, which is packed with opportunities for fun; there, you'll find athletic fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, and lawn games.
At the trail's eastern end, you can connect to the South Tar River Greenway, which continues about 5 miles though pleasantly wooded scenery.
The trail is actively growing and, in March 2017, it was extended just over a mile southwest to Arlington Boulevard and Evans Street. This will connect the trail to a commercial area of the city, so residents can use the route to access shops and restaurants, as well as the Blount Recreational Sports Complex.
Parking is available in Greensprings Park (2500 E 5th Street) and Elm Street Park (1058 S Elm Street).
Park in lot down towards the back ball fields at Elm Street park to get in. Short dirt path gets you directly on. Plus there’s public restrooms at that lot. Well paved. Clearly marked. Great path culture among walkers and bikers. Only a few stops for streets that are very pedestrian/biker friendly with the flashing blinkers. Traffic openly stopped both times. Shade trees also no the whole way. Great river side breeze from the tar river. There’s a leash free dog park near the end of the park that we found a pavilion to enjoy snacks we packed. Great playground at elm street to use as children’s incentive to play at after biking. Lol. Ours four year old loved it. The path has pleasant hills (for enc) and gentle curves to add variety . Good riding :)
