Charlotte’s Trolley Trail follows the Lynx Blue Line Light Rail and winds through the heart of downtown. Also known as the Charlotte Rail Trail, the 4-mile paved path runs from Uptown Charlotte to South End, passing breweries, art galleries, and a cool collection of hip eateries and popular sports bars along the way. The northernmost point is off E 9th Street between N College St. and N Brevard St. The southernmost point is at the corner of South Blvd. and Clanton Rd. The trail can be joined at any point, depending on where you’re staying. There are paths along both sides of the rail line. You can always run one way and take the trolley back!
Note there’s a short on-road section just north of Carson Station.
