Natural open areas along the riverside for peaceful sitting, reading, picnic, recreation and canoe/kayak boat launch. Beautiful vistas overlooking creek, river and farmlands. Wildflowers pop up in the spring.
Trails The initial section of the Deep River Rail Trail/Greenway, a portion of the original 18.5 mile Ramseur brank of the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroad is now in at Living Well Community. Work is underway to extend the Deep River Rail Trail into Ramseur and through Franklinville. In addition, we have built several walking/hiking trails on the property that go through the woods and down to both the creek and river.
In conjunction with National Trails Day Saturday, June 7th, 2008, there was a gathering at our own Living Well Community to celebrate the opening of a section of Greenway that runs through the property. And here is a link to a very interesting article Bicycles Pedaling Into The Spotlight from the Earth Policy Institute.
Infrastructure Half mile paved road with utilities - underground power, telephone, cable, municipal water and sewer.
