Highland Rail Trail
The Highland Rail Trail is a ten foot wide, paved facility constructed along the historic Carolina and Northwestern Railway. This 2.1-mile urban trail passes through residential neighborhoods and industrial areas, linking downtown Gastonia with Sims Legion Park and beyond. The Carolina Thread Trail sign marks one entrance to the trail at the intersection of Broad Street and Long Avenue. From this point, the trail continues northwest past Sims Legion Park toward I-85. A tunnel takes users under Bulb Avenue and north to Long Creek. The Thread Trail designation ends there, but the greenway continues west and connects to Rankin Lake Park.
