Description
This trail can be done alone or as part of the Perimeter Trail of the nature park. You start by crossing a creek to leave the main Perimeter Trail for this little side gem. The first half follows the creek line with great views and two bridges to cross. When you reach the end of the loop, it loops around and brings you back to the starting point. The loop is all within view of the creek with one bridge to cross on the way back. You can then cross the creek and connect right back with the Perimeter Trail exactly where you left off.
