The previous user defined trail was an old haul/access road. In the last few seasons it has been dry.. Typically a flowing "creek" in the spring into June. (the wooded portion). The normally underwater section connects to an upland path created by construction equipment along the north edge of the Whiskey Hill Forest. Moving west, it connects to 56th street connector. All of this has been "improved by the city this season into a 1.2m/1.5m wide granular trail. The portion along the north edge of the woods is being developed into a City Cemetery.
