bridges and other details lend a healthy sense of place and adventure.
Many asphalt paths are found where concrete sidewalks might be
expected. One segment uses a creatively striped parking lot surface to
give trail users their own space. A rescued historic iron truss bridge
connects the White Lick Creek Trail to Friendship Gardens.
