Description

This is the longest of the three trails at Waller Mill Park and is mostly singletrack with little elevation gain/loss but lots of small ups and downs. The path is winding, and you'll find yourself changing direction many times during a hike here. There are exposed roots, but overall it is a smooth trail with great views of Waller Mill Reservoir.

The trailheads is easy to locate and just south of the Dog Park. The beginning is a short stint on a singletrack path and the trail then meets a hardened bike path. Head left on the bike path, following the signs. The bike path parallels the road for a short distance to cross the reservoir. The trail then turns to the left to enter the woods with a sign to clearly mark the turn. You'll then complete a loop and head back on the same section when returning to the parking lot.

Great trail that follows the water. Some exposed tree roots to maneuver around with gradual rolling hills. It was fun and clearly marked. 3mi
