Salem Creek Greenway



Gypsy and I started our walk on the Salem Creek Greenway at the Salem Lake West parking area. After crossing the bridge, we turned right. Turning left would have taken us on the Salem Lake Greenway.






Starting at Salem Lake and going toward Winston-Salem the Greenway begins with more of a country look and feel. You walk closely by Salem Creek, overlook a golf course and pass through shaded canopy of trees.










While looking across an open area choked with kudzu, a train slowly rumbled by which only added to the charm of the greenway.




As you approached Winston-Salem, the scenery becomes urban. You pass under viaducts and by a water treatment plant, colleges,  playgrounds, and baseball diamonds. 





Once you cross the pedestrian bridge and Main Street, there is a section of the greenway that is lined with purple flowering Crape Myrtle trees. 


The tallest building in Winston- Salem (460-feet) is the Wells Fargo Building at 100 N Main Street. 




The beginning of the Salem Creek Greenway at the Marketplace Mall located in the back left of the parking lot.
