Bill's Trail connects two sections of the Lafayette Heritage Trail, completes the loop around Piney Z Lake, and connects J.R. Alford Greenway and Lafayette Heritage Trail Park. Some root tech. and decent natural topography, with some green bits. Call it blue-green. Nice views of Piney Z Lake. This trail crosses a quiet railroad once where gravel is conveniently piled up along the tracks near a large gravel pile.
