West Ellerbee Creek Trail Reviews

Until renamed, this is the ECWA Trail (Ellerbee Creek Watershed Association), a portion of the Ellerbee Creek Trail (all paved and goes much farther). This section is the 17-Acre Wood Preservation Area. There are two natural foot trails that branch off of the paved trail on each side of the bridge. Both sodes are well marks ans have a few forks in the trail that all lewd back to the paved trail. It is very well maintained and has some noce shade cover. You can start the trail feom EITHER END! There is no parking at the trailhead on the end it has you start at. You need to park around the corner at Indian Trail Park. However, the bridge is broken currently in the park that connects to the Ellerbee Creek Trail, so you’ll need to walk down the street a little. Its a non-busy, residential road woth plenty of shoulder. The other option is to park by Westover Park at the end of Maryland Drive.
