Mecklenburg Community Church is situated right in the heart of 80 beautiful acres of pristine woods in Charlotte, North Carolina and the Meck Trail winds through it all. We have transformed this stroller-friendly trail into an outdoor chapel outfitted with benches, plaques filled with handpicked Scripture, picturesque waterfalls and wooden bridges to retreat. Grab a coffee at The Grounds Bookstore and Café and escape to the Meck Trail as a destination to think, pray, walk and find sanctuary. From start to finish, the trail is roughly 3/4 of a mile in length. We hope you’ll take advantage of all the Meck Trail has to offer.
The Meck Trail is located at Meck's physical campus (8335 Browne Rd. Charlotte, NC 28269). The entrance to the trail can be found along the treeline on the opposite side of the parking lot from the building. You'll see the start of the trail from the edge of the parking lot as well as an arbor that marks the beginning of the trail.
Yes! The trail is stroller friendly. You are also welcome to bring your pet, we just ask that you pick up after them!
