Have you seen the new logo of the Mount Holly River Hawk Greenway?
The brand goals included promoting a healthy lifestyle for multi-generational trail users, connecting the community, attracting visitors, and growing Mount Holly in beauty and business.
The logo features a flying osprey referred to as a River Hawk, along with a glowing orange orb symbolizing the sun, and water.
The greenway parallels the River along the eastern border of Mount Holly and the logo symbolizes the sun rising out of the water. The tag line reads, “Go where the river takes you” which complements the tag line of the City, “Connecting Community & Nature”.
River Hawk Greenway OverviewThe River Hawk Greenway is the name of the entire greenway system throughout Mount Holly. Within this system, there are greenway trails:
The A&E Riverfront Trail is a 1.2-mile greenway segment that connects Tuckaseege Park to the Mount Holly Municipal Complex, is a paved trail that takes visitors along the picturesque mighty Catawba River.
The Mountain Island Park Trail is a 1.6-mile natural surface trail that meanders through the woods and is home to many types of wildlife. This trail starts at the parking lot below the dam at Mountain Island Park at Mount Holly and continues into the woods.
Dutchman’s Creek Trail is the most recently opened trail is the segment that starts at River Street Park, and continues along Dutchman’s Creek, crossing over Highway 27, and continuing to the Mount Holly Municipal Complex. This 0.8-mile trail has both paved and natural surface sections.
