This is a 2.0-mile grassy road hiking trail located between St. George and Sherwood Lakes. This is an easy trail with very little change in elevation. Although most of the trail is on grassy roads, there are some sections along paved roads. There is limited parking just off St. George Drive on Castlebar Lane.

After passing the Lake on St. George look for the trail sign on the left at the grassy road Castlebar Lane (first left past Amherst Drive).  Most roads are unsigned so follow the trail posts and signs.

MEET AT: Castlebar Lane on the grassy road.
