Overview The Carolina Thread Trail will develop over time as communities build trails that will eventually link parks, green spaces and attractions throughout the region. Not all local trails and greenways will become part of the Carolina Thread Trail. Analogous to our highway systems, The Thread will develop as a "green interstate" focused on linking local trails and regionally significant attractions. Trails in each community will have their own identities. Designation as the Carolina Thread Trail will signify that a particular trail is part of a plan to create an interconnected system, a plan created by local communities working together with their neighbors to identify connection points and to build traits that wilt grow together over time. As threads of the Carolina Thread Trail are created, they will be shown under each county's link. Currently, you can find many of the interesting attractions within the 15-county region that could be linked by The Thread. We invite local governments to show their support be signing the Carolina Thread Trail Resolution. The Vision The Carolina Thread Trail will be a regional trail network that will eventually reach 15 counties and over 2 million people. Simply put, it will link people and places. It will link cities, towns, and attractions. More than a hiking trail, more than a bike path, the Carolina Thread Trail will preserve our natural areas and will be a place for exploration of nature, culture, science and history, for family adventures and celebrations of friendship. It will be for young and old, athlete and average.?his is a landmark project. A legacy that will give so much, to so many, for so long. While not every local trail will be part of the Carolina Thread Trail system, it wilt link the regionally significant trails and many regional attractions. Think of it as a "green interstate system" of major trails created by connecting smaller trail systems throughout the region. G-~
