Although Piney Plains Greenway covers only a short distance at the present time, it leads to the important Hinshaw and Pirate's Cove Greenway System on the west end and will be an important future connection to the existing Speight Branch Greenway.  Already MacDonald Woods Park and Marla Dorrel Park are accessible on foot from this greenway, and someday there will be a park at Tryon Road on Speight Branch Greenway, also accessible from the Piney Plains Greenway.
