A place for the NC State CVM Community to share routes for running, walking, riding, hiking, and other adventures in movement and exercise!
Hilly section is strenuous, either direction! Parking lots, one either side of the bridge crossing the lake, are often full at peak visiting hours.
(Bonus: It’s not uncommon to see Blue Herons and other wildlife at Lake Johnson!)
Link: Lake Johnson 2.8 Miler
Park in lot at end of Harrison Ave. The trail section is technical, the gravel road part is wide and easy footing. A good hike or trail run.
Here’s a running route (that could be walked or cycled) through the North Carolina Museum of Art sculpture park, and nearby neighborhood. Includes the footbridge over I-440. A lovely run that is downhill and uphill, with easy and strenuous segments.
