Is the Six Mile Creek Greenway dog-friendly?

While specific regulations for this greenway are not detailed, most trails within the Mecklenburg County Greenway System are dog-friendly, requiring dogs to be on a leash. Always ensure your pet is under control and clean up after them.

What is the best time of year to visit the greenway?
