This trail is located in Harnett County, North Carolina. Harnett County is located near the geographical center of the state and lies between the two metropolitan areas of Fayetteville and Raleigh. The project emerges from the heart of Dunn and Erwin and traverses through their suburban and light industrial fringe, through rural farmland dotted with cotton fields and cottages and across a swath of the beautiful Black River and its wetlands.
