The Orange County Water and Sewage Authority (OWASA) maintains this trail that follows Bolin Creek and is studded with sewer access points.

When you hike in from the parking area on the Robin's Trail, take a short spur on the left to a beautiful creek overlook with bench. It's a great place to think and rest!
