This was cool to read.  Anyone know the specifics of where the additional mileage will be added.

While I do not know the specifics, I was there a few months back and a few of us were having a parking lot discussion with Lee and he was talking about the area west of the White Water Center Parkway.

It will be on the left hand side when you are driving in.  Supposedly there will be about 3-4 miles that will be greenway... that will not close ever...  much like the area around the water channel... so they can still rent bikes. 
I heard a huge number when it came to long term goals for total trail miles accessible from the park. HUGE!!

Here is a quick image from property records. The area in red is property the WWC purshased. Red is City owned property which i am betting they are working on permission to build more trails. Also, Catawba Land Conservancey owns a few large parcels which are in the mix. This was 5 minutes of work so don't make fun of the drawings

I'm glad that this is an environment where you feel free to fail.

It's a lot of mileage...  much much more than 50+ miles.... if they are not pulling my leg.
Cool
I don't have specifics on which tracts of land... but I was told it would all be accessible from the park...
I believe both sides of the main WWC parkway are in scope for stuff this year..

Updated showing the purchased property on the other side of the road. They also purchased a few smaller parcels in between the County Owned WW property and the WWC purchased property.
