Roanoke River Greenway at Green Hill Park

Roanoke River Greenway at Green Hill Park

The section of Roanoke River Greenway within Green Hill Park is a paved path 0.8 miles long. The greenway begins at the parking area near the park entrance off Diuguids Lane and parallels the river to the back parking lot. The path has numerous benches and resting points and provides access to several fishing spots. It crosses a 70’ bridge built by volunteers, connects two picnic shelters, and passes the river “beach” and handicapped fishing pier. There are lots of wildflowers in the spring.

At this time, this section is not connected to other portions of Roanoke River Greenway, but plans are underway for the extension into Salem.
