The Old Creedmoor Nature Preserve, 65 acres with 4 miles of mountain bike and hiking trails north of NC 98 between Wake Forest and Durham near Falls Lake, opened in late May as Triangle Land Conservancy’s eighth outpost.
The land conservancy paid $1.6 million for the property—projected as another rural subdivision—with money from two government funds: the City of Raleigh Watershed Protection Program and the Wake County Open Space Program. Another $312,000 came from TORC (Triangle Off Road Cyclists), the state’s Great Trails grant program, The Caterpillar Foundation and The Barnhill Family Foundation to improve the trail network and build a gravel parking lot, according to the N&O.
