Towsley Road Out and Back

This route is very popular amongst the local hikers and morning/evening strollers; this is a great place to get away from the metropolis and get into the wilderness. Whether you're hiking, mountain biking, or trail running, you'll find this part of the Ed Davis Park as a great place to start in your quest. Quarter of a mile in the trail, you'll come across Towsley Lodge with beautiful green lawn perfect for picnic or rest. There are well-maintained restrooms by the Towsley Lodge.Most people turn around at The Narrows pass where the trail criss-crosses the creek--since the Don Mullally Trail starts climbing quickly. Also, if you have kids, in the rainy season, the creek does have ankle deep water which may make it undesirable to cross. However, if you do go past The Narrows, you'll be rewarded with views of soaring mountains.

Near the turnaround, you'll find the remnants of the oil industry (metal scrapes).
