About This Trail

Imported description

The woods inside of Friends Creek County Park are home to the Woodland Trail. The paved parking area on the far side of the old school is where you should follow the signs after turning west. A sign in the parking area shows a path to the trailhead. Take a right to start the trail. The trail is well maintained and has river rock added to the parts. It follows along Friends Creek for a while, but there are no bridges or crossing.
