Horseshoe Slough Recreational Trail

Starting near the entrance to Woodward's Landing Park (Scout Camp Park) one block west of No. 5 Road, this recreational trail presents users with two options. The west side of the trail, which is wider and flatter for easier pedestrian and cyclist accessibility and the east side, adjacent to several industrial sites, which is narrower and bumpier making for a little more challenge.

The trail also gives users the choice to take a shorter walk/ride by looping around the slough and returning back to Woodward's Landing Park.

Note: Tree failure can naturally occur, especially during wind storms and inclement weather. Exercise caution while enjoying the trail and watch for falling trees and/or branches.
