Overflow at the fords on the greenway is low enough that you can ride through without getting your feet wet. Although the tree that fell over the trail thursday night is still there, the city showed great concern for you safety by placing yellow caution tape on the limbs; just in case you weren't able to see the giant wall of green blocking the trail.
Status Report
Some overflow at the fords on the greenway but you can easily ride through them. On the north side of the lake between the bridge and the big hill beside the dam, a tree has fallen over the trail but it is easy to ride under it. On the south side of the lake, the east side of the big hill has washed out even more. It has deep ruts and in some places, the cinders have washed away exposing the rock base layer. You have to be VERY careful going down it unless you are on a mountain bike and can handle this type of terrain.
Status Report
Unexpectedly, there was no water overflow on the greenway. Trail is in good shape. Trail traffic was normal but the parking lots were full with lots of cars parked on the side of the entrance road.

Within the next year, the one-mile gap between the 3-mile High Point Greenway and the 8-mile Jamestown Bicentennial Greenway will be completed. When the one-mile gap in the Greensboro section of the Bicentennial Greenway is completed, it will complete the connection to the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway and you will be able to ride trails from High Point to the Guildford Battle Ground Park (about 20 miles).
Plans are to connect the Greensboro end of the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway to downtown greenways, connect the Summerfield end of the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway to Triad Park in Kernersville, connect Triad Park to the Salem Lake Trail, and to extend the Market Place Mall end of the Salem Creek Greenway to Forsyth Technical College.
So, at some point in the future, you will be able to ride trails from Downtown Winston-Salem to downtown Greensboro or to downtown High point.
