Carolina Thread Trail | Young Retiree Needs a Life

Followed the signs finding Cramerton, North Carolina.

This community is undergoing a massive home construction phase under the expertise and guidance of this company.

Their offices are located in a restored home and behind the home are community gardens..

Some of the homes..

Completed, and aren’t they gorgeous??? Plus these homes are near the lake which was seen in the former blog…

The Town of Cramerton is networked into the Carolina Trail System. Here are some views of the Cramerton portion of the Carolina Thread Trail.

There is a walkway over the water to an island which has a playground for children, and trails.

The town also has events for their residents. According to placards a July 4th event at the gazebo and yoga classes on the island are planned. What fun and great way to meet neighbors.

Think Cramerton has much going for it.

On the grounds of the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is the Persimmon Trail. Seek this out as it is a lovely, easy to walk trail, and a perfect end to your visit. On the trail you will find folks walking, jogging, riding their bikes, and lovers holding hands. It is also attached to the Carolina Thread Trail which is a 300 mile long network of greenery, blueways, and trails in 15 counties, 2 states, reaching 2.9 million people according to Auntie Google. .

Throughout the trail are signs naming the trees and other vegetation. Nice touch and a good learning tool for children.

The path has many twists and turns. Place small colored items at these junctures to ensure you find your way back to the parking lot. And of course pick them up upon return.

What a nice surprise at the end of my hike..
