Tinker Creek Greenway
Tinker Creek is a major tributary of the Roanoke River, flowing from Botetourt through Hollins and Vinton on its way to Roanoke. The main stretch of the Tinker Creek Greenway runs from the Roanoke River north to Wise Avenue at Fallon Park. An additional, natural trail section of the Tinker Creek Greenway runs from Hollins to Carvins Cove, and further sections are in the works.
