legit could not find the entrance to the trail. we went to the address that was listed with this link and ended up in some private development. then we read the website that said it was on the corner of elm and main and it was indeed not there. then we drove down elm and found a park and pulled in there. we finally found the sign for the trail but once we went down that path 100 feet we ended up at school and of course it was right during dismissal and there were children and cars everywhere and no sign of a continued path so we just gave up and left. it looked beautiful from the pics online tho lol. wish we could of done it. either we suck at directions or that was just unnecessarily difficult to find. please add a direct location of where to start for us out of towners!

What a confusing place to park, and I see others had the same issue! This is the residential part of the Bikeway with residential parking only, the free parking is at the South end of the trail located at Burnt Mills Park. It’s about 5 minutes away from this address and there’s free parking and a playground there!
It’s a lovely paved trail, but I wouldn’t say this is the best place to feel surrounded by nature since it’s right next to the highway.
