Description

The greenway starts at the Hampton Cove Elementary School parking lot and stretches five miles all the way into McMullen Cove. The trail connects to the Big Cove Creek Greenway, which then runs into Hays Nature Preserve. Overall, this is a fairly easy trail but it may be more difficult on the turnaround coming out of McMullen Cove due to a slightly higher incline.

Parking is available at the trailhead located on Old Highway 431 at Hampton Cove Elementary.
