This connector takes a rider from Bernhardt Lane to the Maple Hill trail network. It starts at a small, dead end in the road with enough space for just a couple cars and directs the rider to Baldwin Loop at the intersection of Freewill and Prime Mover. It can be ridden both ways - it is an easy, flat trail. Expect to encounter hikers, dog walkers and families.
