This trail extends from Melbourne Road next to Charlottesville High School down to the access trail for Triangle Trails. Coming from Melbourne Road, there is a short flat section behind the CHS baseball fields. This leads to a somewhat technical rocky downhill section. Cross the bridge at the bottom for some rooty ups and downs. Follow the creek until you pass under the footbridge that leads to the CHS tennis courts. After the bridge there is a small clearing. Go right and cross the creek to access Triangle Trails. The path to the left leads up the hill to the paved path back to the Brooks Family YMCA and the McIntire Park baseball fields.
