Description
This trail typically isn't a destination on its own, but provides good access into Stratton Open Space from Cresta Road. You can access from the sidewalk on the west side of Cresta road, or go through the drainage culvert underneath the street. There is also a spur connector to Preserve Drive in the neighborhood to the north.
