Description
This trail can be accessed from the Star K Trailhead, or off of the Sand Creek Trail. When starting this trail from the trailhead there will be a split after about 100ft. The left trail takes you back to the Sand Creek Trail and is intended for equestrian use or those with dogs. To the right you can enter the nature area for some quick respite from the sun.
