Mountain Island Park Trail
The Mountain Island Park Trail is a gravel and natural surface trail winding through beautiful hardwood forests that offers spectacular views of the Catawba River. The trailhead and gravel parking area is adjacent to the Riverbend Recycling & Transfer Center which offers access to this trail in addition to other trails managed by the City of Mount Holly. The natural surface and gravel trail is 1.5 miles long one-way. The first section of the trail from the trailhead is gravel and is hilly with some steep climbs and descents. Once you make it down to the trail section paralleling the Catawba River the surface is natural with a relatively level slope. Some short climbs and descents exist on this section as well.
The Mountain Island Park Trail is a part of Mount Holly's River Hawk Greenway system. The trail is planned to connect into River Street Park. This will allow users to access this area from downtown Mount Holly or visa versa.
