Project Overview:

The proposed NC-210 East Coast Greenway segment is a 16-mile corridor in Pender County connecting existing park trails in the Holly Shelter Game Land and North Topsail Beach. The proposed corridor parallels NC-210 and US-17 connecting the communities of Hampstead, Surf City, and North Topsail Beach. The proposed trail is also a critical missing link in the regional trail network and is the identified corridor for gap segments of the East Coast Greenway and Mountains-to-Sea Trail.  The NC-210 East Coast Greenway Feasibility Study will evaluate potential route scenarios along roadways and off-road corridors to determine the preferred route. The study will also develop cost estimates and an implementation plan to construct the trail.

About the East Coast Greenway

The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile walking and biking route from Maine to Florida that connects major cities, small towns, and parklands along the Eastern Seaboard. In North Carolina, the ECG route passes through the cities of Durham, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Wilmington and primarily follows the Neuse River and Cape Fear River corridors across the state.  In addition to this main route, the Historic Coastal Route extends south from Virginia on the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail and follows the North Carolina coast more closely, linking Greenville and Jacksonville before heading into Wilmington to join the spine route.

 

About the Mountains-to-Sea Trail

The Mountains to Sea State Trail (MST) is North Carolina’s flagship state trail. It stretches 1,200 miles from Clingmans Dome on the Tennessee border to Jockeys Ridge State Park on the coast. The trail, from Johnston County east to Carteret County, has been envisioned as a multiuse path suitable for bicycles and pedestrians.
