TRAIL MAPS AND ACCESS INFO

Section 1

Approximately 8 miles from Rt. 605 trailhead to near Rt. 610. The trail is clear and railroad ties are removed. The natural surface is fairly even and good for walking, hiking, biking and running; the first four miles is suitable for strollers and children on bikes. Keep an eye out for uneven sections, holes and roots. 
Parking & access

Section 2

Approximately 4 miles from Rt. 610 to Panorama Drive in Meadows subdivision off of Rt. 206.   A 1-mile segment running east from the Rt 610 road crossing is leveled and surfaced with stone dust. This segment is terrific for strollers as well as children with bikes, and perfect for easy walking as well as hiking, biking and running. The rest of Section 2 is clear and the ties are removed, but it has not been completely leveled and stone dust has not been put down. Overall, the trail is fairly even but keep an eye out for uneven sections, holes and roots.

Section 3

Approximately 4 miles from Panorama Drive in The Meadows to just off Rt. 624 at Owens Drive. There may be some fallen trees, stumps and roots on the trail as well as some rotten ties in the ground so keep an eye out for holes, uneven ground, and other obstacles. This section is not considered suitable for strollers or children on bikes. 
Parking & access
There is a small parking lot where the trail crosses Owens Rd with room for 3 cars on each side of the road. 
There is no public trail access from Little Ark Baptist Church on Rt 624, and trail users are not authorized to access the trail property that passes adjacent to the church's cemetery.

A pipe blocks the trail at the western side of the bypass, and the eastern end is just past a private driveway.
