Matrimony Creek Greenway
This two-mile hike begins on a wide gravel greenway and leads to a dead end in Matrimony Creek, where you will find a large cascading rapid in the creek!
“In 1728, when William Byrd was surveying the boundary line between the colonies of North Carolina and Virginia, he wrote in his diary that Matrimony was ‘call’d so by an unfortunate married man because it was exceeding noisy and impetuous.’ – Dan River Basin Association.
