Features Historical Significance · River/Creek

Family Friendly This is a well marked paved trail with plenty of places to stop along the way. There is also a playground at one point. Path continues under bridges at major roads making it a safe walk as well.

Description

This easy hike is mostly flat with good bridges over the creek crossings. There is good parking at either end and a few places in between in the neighborhoods as well. This makes it easy to customize as you desire. It passes by several neighborhoods. All creek and road crossings provide a bridge or tunnel. There are a few historical markers on the Allen Station end. The path is well marked and easy to follow.

Flora & Fauna

Many types of trees cottonwood, redbud. I mostly saw song birds and rabbits all along the path. And several people walking dogs on leash.
