The Erwin Linear Trail
The Linear Trail (Erwin Greenway) runs parallel to I-26 along North Indian Creek and Nolichucky waterways in Erwin. The greenway was designed by Tysinger Hampton & Partners (TH&P) to help to protect and enhance the environment and provide recreation to the community. The area includes wooded areas, natural ponds, wetlands and mountain views. The challenge was to develop a greenway that provided recreation and protected the few remaining natural areas.
Trails wander around and through the ponds for recreation and fishing and instructional wetlands areas for local school programs. On the paved trails there are hikers, dog walkers, bicyclers, joggers, adults, children and families from the entire region using the trails day and night. In addition, the community has arts and crafts shows and other events in the park. Other amenities include night lighting, restrooms, benches, docks for fishing and a family-friendly atmosphere.
