Runner Notes

There are a couple of sharp turns. Watch out for walkers at dusk, as they do not tend to wear any reflective gear or bring flashlights.

Description

This is an excellent trail with incredible views—a real gem in the area. If you enjoy nature, this is the place to run and walk. There are plenty of opportunities and locations to sit down and enjoy the beauty of nature and the peaceful setting of Apex Community Park and the lake.

Flora & Fauna

Great view of nature and waterfowl.
