The American Tobacco Trail is a rails-to-trails project that consists of more than twenty-two miles throughout the state of North Carolina’s Triangle region. The portion of the trail in Wake County is a recreational rail-trail that is open to runners, walkers, horseback riders, cyclists, and dog walkers. Cultural, history, and environmental programs are often offered along the American Tobacco Trail as well. The American Tobacco Trail runs from western Wake County in rural New Hill through the northeastern part of Chatham County to the downtown area of Durham and out to around the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
