Plan Your Greenway Adventure
As the East Coast Greenway continues to grow, riders will find an increasing number of 10- to 50-mile segments that are protected from traffic and welcoming to all trail users. Those planning multi-day trips — or even an end-to-end journey — should be experienced cyclists, comfortable navigating both urban and rural environments and sharing roads and bridges with motor vehicles. For essential details to help you plan a long-distance adventure, be sure to review our state and regional pages, as well as all the resources available below.

Greenway Guidance
While the East Coast Greenway Alliance is constantly improving the safety of the Greenway route through its advocacy efforts, many of the current on-road connections, including those on the Greenway’s interim routes, have little or no special provisions for bicyclists or pedestrians. Long-distance travel via on-road sections of the Greenway is recommended for experienced cyclists only. Many lengthy traffic-free segments of the Greenway are suitable for families and cyclists, walkers and runners of all ages and abilities.
The current on-road routing is housed on low-traffic roads whenever possible. We aim to be as clear as we are able about the conditions riders can expect by including alerts for known stressful sections on our online mapping tool at map.greenway.org as indicated below. Please note that points of caution – indicated by red dots on the map – only appear when zoomed in at the 1-mile scale or closer. You can click on an individual dot to see more caution details.
Directional signage may or may not be present along the route. Users are advised to review state traffic laws, research current road conditions and discuss plans with people familiar with area roadways.
