Traveling on US 321 (Blowing Rock Road) turn on Boone Heights Rd then right on State Farm Rd then a left on Hunting Lane which will take you to the Greenway's parking lot on the left side of the street.
There are three bridges. The Covered Bridge, Middle Bridge, and End Bridge as they are called.
Just before the Covered Bridge is a marshy area with lily pads and flowering plants.
The Middle and End Bridges are identical and this is what they look like.
The view of the South Fork New River from the End Bridge.
1915-1924 this dam supplied electricity to Boone, and in 1924 dynamite couldn't even demolish the dam completely.
The greenway dead ends at Casey Lane near the water treatment plant. This side of the greenway is easier to access from US 421/221 by turning on New River Hills Rd. Turn left on Casey Lane, and you will see the parking area.
