Starting at River Street in Concord, the trail travels east/northeast to Jackson, connecting with the Intercity Trail in Jackson. The paved trail is used for bicycling, jogging, walking, and rollerblading.
There is parking at the Concord trailhead and in Jackson at New Leaf Park on Fourth Street and at M.L. King Park. You can also park at Sparks Park in Jackson and follow the bike route on Fourth Street to the Intercity Trail and then ride southwest on the Falling Waters Trail to Concord. It's approximately 12.5 miles from Fourth Street in Jackson to River Street in Concord.
Concord is a rural community with a charming downtown area and historic churches that date back to the early 1800s.
