About
The Durham-to-Roxboro Rail Trail Plan is a community-driven initiative to assess the transformation of the existing 18-mile inactive rail corridor within Durham County into a multi-use trail. This proposed rail trail would ultimately establish a 26-mile trail network linking downtown Durham to Roxboro.
The project is a collaborative effort led by five key organizations: Durham County, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC-MPO), the City of Durham, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), and the East Coast Greenway Alliance.
Through robust public engagement and input, the planning study seeks to honor the area’s rich history while designing a distinctive rail trail experience that celebrates and protects the unique environment, heritage, and character of the corridor. Together, we can create a trail that transforms and connects.
