American Tobacco Trail
American Tobacco Trail, 22+ miles in Durham, Chatham and Wake Counties. This corridor is railbanked by NC DOT. Leased to local governments. With the recent completion of the pedestrian bridge over I-40 the American Tobacco Trail is now complete! Please see the Triangle Rails site for printable maps of the Durham section and the Chatham-Wake sections. Our trip reports (below) of The American Tobacco Trail are broken up into four sections. Each one makes a nice trip or do the whole trail at once!
- Southpoint Crossing to Downtown Durham
- Massey Chapel Road to Morrisville Parkway
- Morrisville Parkway to New Hill-Olive Chapel Road
- New Hill-Olive Chapel Road to Wimberly Road Section
