Chinqua-Penn Walking Trail

History

The Trail was created in 1997 by the NC Upper Piedmont Research Station for the benefit of the public. Friends of Chinqua-Penn Walking Trail have partnered with the Research Station to care for the trail since 2010. Other nonprofits sharing in this effort are the Dan River Basin Association and the Rockingham County Naturalist Club.  Generous grant support from the Reidsville Area Foundation has funded grading and gravel for the parking lot and trail improvements, as well as the solar-ventilated composting toilet at the trailhead.
