Description
This is a pleasant concrete path that features bridges and water features. The trail starts off of Hillard Road at the north end and travels south for just over a mile to finish at West Adams Avenue. It is also frequently accessed via the Pepper Creek Connector that leads from the parking area, or the Pepper Creek Hike & Bike Spur off of West Campus Drive. No matter which direction you approach it from, it's a popular and enjoyable option for both bipedal and two-wheeled visitors.
