Reedy Fork Trail Head at Lake Brandt

This trail rewards the hiker with opportunities to see abundant wildlife, beaver meadows, mature forest and lots of views of the flow. Parking on the right side of the road is limited but one usually finds a spot. This trail is very popular with bikers so hikers be alert on constricted areas on the trail. Maybe the best aspect of all is one can forget the city for a bit and have a bit of quiet. Wildlife I have personally seen on the trail include deer (even small herds), all the local birds of prey (even eagles!) and a variety of reptiles including the spectacular green rough snake.

This trail is probably the most scenic of all the Greensboro watershed trails. The trailhead is forested with a quiet creek close by and quickly the landscape meanders from forest to bog to creekside to lakeside. There is a lot of wildlife and evidence of wildlife. We met a juvenile deer, saw lots of jumping fish and frogs, heard a small group of cranes having a lively disagreement, found numerous tree stumps choked by beavers, and even discovered an animal's tail bone in the woods. There's also interesting flora to be found - mushrooms like chanterelles, Turkey tail, and indigo milkcap can be found on the right days, as well as paw paw trees and a few other fruit trees I couldn't get close enough to to identify. There is a moderate amount of mosquitos here - not enough to necessitate a sprint pace but enough to drive some away from the trail altogether. Be prepared and bring bug spray because this IS a bog and mosquitos are unavoidable.

Would be awesome if you seasoned mountain bikers would rate this trail more realistically for the general public. I am a seasoned rider yet found this to be more moderate than easy due to the blind curves and obstacles such as unavoidable rough bridges and cobblestones. Roots are a given. Mountain Laurel in bloom! Everyone I met was very kind. I rode Reedy Fork and Blue Heron Trail, round trip - Strava says it was 9 miles.

Reedy Fork trail is one of the classics in Guilford county. A must ride for any mountain biker.

A nice leisurely trail with rolling hills and foot bridges. One can easily forget that they're in a suburban area. Ideal for walkers, families, dog walkers and runners who enjoy trail running.

This is one of my families favorite trails. Great views and moderate trails. My husband and I even took our pregnancy pictures here because the scenery is beautiful!

No frills or glitz. Just pure nature.

This was a great place for an easy hike. Lots of biodiversity in a short distance.

Rooty Fork...I mean Reedy Fork trail is great. I bit bumpy for a hardtail rider like myself, but still a nice out and back.
