Runner Notes

This route features some good even trail, making footing a breeze.

Description

The Orange County Water and Sewage Authority (OWASA) maintains this trail that follows Bolin Creek and is studded with sewer access points. The trail starts at Estes Dr and peters out on the Duke Energy Corridor. It can be quite wet after rains but makes a nice, easy run or hike. Many neighborhood access points and other trails bump into this trail.

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!
