Description
This trail connects the Hunting Bayou Hike and Bike Trail to the Herman Brown Nature Trail and on to the Hunting Bayou Hike and Bike Trail again. The southeastern half is paved, but the pavement is a little bit old so it's not completely smooth. The northern half is gravel fill. There is a nice bridge over a small tributary of the Hunting Bayou just north of the Herman Brown Nature Trail. The trail ends in an open meadow that is nice, but kind of ruined by the proximity to I-90, which is very noisy.
