Description

The Orange County Water and Sewage Authority (OWASA) maintains this trail that follows Bolin Creek and is studded with sewer access points. The trail starts at Estes Dr and peters out on the Duke Energy Corridor. It can be quite wet after rains but makes a nice, easy run or hike. Many neighborhood access points and other trails bump into this trail.
