Salem Lake Trail | Winston Salem NC

[@jamesbrandon1411]

I used to ride the trail 23 yrs. ago. Not able to do so at my age now. It was one of my favorite spots in WS. Many great memories. Nice video. Thanks for bringing back those memories.

You should look into ebikes, I've been able to continue riding despite severe arthitis.

[@geod3589]

I was riding this trail back around the same time, knee injury ended it and I still miss it very much.

[@kennysmith5634]

I believe your direction of travel was clockwise around the lake based upon your departure point from Jamison Park. Anyway a great video and thanks for posting.

[@zxtenn]

Had to watch it again,, that climb along the chain link fence has it's share of walkers. I really have been slacking on riding so heading there tomorrow, maybe 1 lap then on to Granite park which is a nice ride

[@TheTrakker]

I've logged many miles around that lake over the years. This year has seen a major increase in the volume of foot traffic as well as bike traffic. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

That is awesome, yes the virus along with bike sales has made it busy on the weekends and sometimes during the week. Thanks for checking it out!

[@ThatHoneyBadger]

Great video I need to get up that way.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

It's very popular with riders, runners, walkers etc, etc. The trail also connects to Salem Creek Greenway which connects to down town Winston-Salem. Thanks for checking it out!

[@davidcrowson4745]

Love Salem lake.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

For sure, we get out there as much as we can!

[@PathSweeper]

Good video can't wait to get my bike on the trail

[@geod3589]

I ride this trail counter-clockwise also. I've also walked it several times, ridden out to old Salem from the dam.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Some days we ride Salem Creek greenway, beginning at Marketplace Mall, around Salem Lake and back, it's a good ride!

[@scottromine4955]

Thanks! I'm riding this for the first time tomorrow, so glad to have a preview.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks for checking out the video, how was the ride?

[@scottromine4955]

I'm mainly a roadie, but my new bike can hold 35mm gravel tires. This was my first gravel ride, and I loved it. Video very helpful in showing that MTB wasn't necessary.

[@kfivemtb]

Great trail, the lake is really nice! You even stuck a little follow cam in there!!😃

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

For sure, smooth and easy to navigate, it's very popular for runners, walkers and riders of all age groups. Yea, I wasn't going fast enough for her, lol! Thanks for checking it out and commenting.

[@southernebiking]

Thank you for the videos. Looks like you found some I was unaware of so I will be following To look these trails up. Please post some more. Thanks for the sub and it’s been returned

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks, I need to get out to the eastern part of the state to do some exploring myself. My current work schedule is interfering with being able to do video editing. We're still out riding and taking pictures but not doing any filming at the moment. Thanks for the sub, I'll keep an eye out for more of your videos!

[@southernebiking]

@@BikesTrailsandGreenways I think he would enjoy the Cape fear River mountain bike trails. I’ve got a series of videos that covers them. Looking over some of yours I think that would be right up your alley. Stay safe God bless, and keep the wheels turning.

[@SlowpokeShred]

Great trail for the whole fam. Some cool "unofficial" stuff for the more adventurous there too!

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

You got that right! I've ventured into the woods a time or two ;)

[@dwincyclingtv3912]

Nice weather plus nice trail place equals awesome ride...keep safe and full supoort here😎

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

For sure, it's a very popular trail, perfect for everyone. Thanks for checking it out!

[@TwoGuysOneVan]

Nice video mate... Looks like a nice chill pedal round. Views of the lake and spillway are nice!

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

It is a smooth 7 mile loop with great views of the lake and wildlife, thanks for checking out our video!

[@rwogmtb-ridingwitholdguy]

Again another great post and quality info provided.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks again, the whole reason for my channel was when I started biking, I didn't have a clue there were so many places to ride. I decided I would share where they were at and how much fun they are!

[@kingtadokoro]

Awesome ride safe your new friend

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks 👍

[@Aldi_buddy]

Nice 🔥 video my friend keep uploading 👍😁

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks for the visit

[@teamohlesgars]

Good session Good Channel 😍😍😍

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks, glad you enjoy it! We always enjoy our rides and the views when we visit this trail.

[@davidbermudez5387]

Nice and smooth ride my friend 🔝🤙

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

For sure, it's basically a greenway but they call it a trail. It's perfect for a casual ride or for someone trying to put in some miles without automotive traffic.

[@davidbermudez5387]

@@BikesTrailsandGreenways for sure, something for a after work stress relief ride 😅

[@blairbarham6532]

You need to do one on the MTB trails in the woods at Salem Lake. Their pretty good but a-little confusing to find your way around.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks for checking out the video, look for some more content in the near future.

[@FishtailMTB]

Nice riding and edit!

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks for checking it out! The biggest draw to this trail is the awesome views of the lake and it being 7 miles in length.

[@zxtenn]

I used to live 1/2 mile from there, decent easy workout there and scenic. I sold my Enduro bike about 8 months ago and just bought a hardtail that should be about 20.5 pounds after upgrades so a perfect place to use it and get back into riding again. Have you even been to 'Quarry park'? You can reach it from the lake by passing the golf course instead of doing the circle, its a long grade to get to the quarry and a bit of a challenge

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Yes! I have gone a few different routes from Salem Lake to Quarry Park. I've got a video where I go from the greenway to Quarry, nice challenge!

[@rwayne73]

That greenway looks awesome! The dirt portion of it looks so well maintained. Thanks for sharing! BTW is that a Giant Roam you are riding? How do you like it?

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

That was my trusty Giant Revel 0. It was a great hardtail bike that was perfect for the greenways, I really enjoyed it.

[@RWayne3326]

@@BikesTrailsandGreenways Thank you for letting me know. I really enjoy your content.

[@stuntmane100]
