About This Trail

Imported description

The Heritage Trail is very popular in the area. This walk leads to the Greenspace East park, which has a paved walking trail. The Heritage corridor is a rails-to-trails corridor through some forest and residential areas. There are birds in the trees. The trail goes up a small hill into a prairie loop area after turning off Heritage. It is popular for dog walking with a paved trail and some park benches and trash cans. They are nice opportunities to get outside while avoiding the muddy natural surface trails.
