This trail can be wet, due to being in a floodplain.

Description

This trail is a new connector with the existing Stadium Drive Trail, connecting Hillandale to Downtown Durham.

This is a beautiful connection trail that passes through the 17 Acre Wood Preserve. It is a picturesque trail that provides great views and opportunities to explore Ellerbe Creek.

It opened in the spring of 2018 to connect Hillandale Golf Course to the Ellerbe Trail System.

Wonderful location for exploration of both flora and fauna.
