A new network of hiking and biking trails is coming to Wake County, and residents are invited to play an active role in its design and development. A community meeting on the future Haleys Branch Trails at Lake Crabtree will take place March 10.
The trail system, named for Haleys Branch, the stream that forms the western boundary of the trail area, will span 400 acres near Lake Crabtree County Park. It includes the 151-acre property formerly known as 286 East and approximately 250 acres of adjacent land that Wake County will lease from William B. Umstead State Park.
“We know how important high quality recreation opportunities, especially biking and hiking, are to our community,” said Safiyah Jackson, vice chair, Wake County Board of Commissioners. “This is a great chance for residents to get involved and help shape what these new trails will become.”
