Two New Walking Paths Added
Waterside/Osprey Circle. A new trail has been opened in the Waterside neighborhood that connects with the Carroll Creek Trail. This trail starts at Carroll Creek Road, at the dog station, just below the entrance to Waterside Way and continues down to the 1st retention pond, then on through the woods to the retention pond at Osprey Road (which is also the access point, with space to park in the Osprey cul-de-sac). The trail continues down wooden steps, through the woods on the other side of Osprey. and emerges at the foot of Waterside Way, beside the last house under construction. This is a delightful circle trail, or it can be used to access the Carroll Creek Trail from end to end.
Bremerton Spur. This short trail connects the Bremerton Cottages to the Carroll Creek Trail. It starts in common area behind the homes in Heathrow Lane. Access is adjacent to #1561, then turn left into the common area at the red fire hydrant, walk downhill, then turn right behind the homes, then turn left at the white vent onto the short spur trail (80 yards) that connects with the Carrol Creek Trail.
Signs are ordered and the Trail Maps will be updated on the GCA website. In the meantime, happy hiking!
Reminder: Please take clippers and gloves with you to help save our
lovely trees by cutting any invasive vines or the prickly 'Greenbriar thorns’ you encounter on your trek.
