    This is one of my favorite hiking spots in the area. I've been here about 10 times with my dog and we discover a new part of the forest every time. One of my favorite aspects of this place is the peacefulness of these trails. It isn't a high frequented place and the trails are always in good condition. I discovered on my last trip that there is a bike trail near the Horace Williams airport entrance. This is a nice place to come and hike in the woods without traveling very far from the Chapel Hill area.

    Nice and secluded trail. A great place to go with your dog and plenty of trails to choose from to hike.

    I've been through pumpkin loop and crow branch overlook and I prefer the crow branch since we never realized there was a whole retention pond to walk alongside!!

    It's a pretty decent place to walk in there are paved areas, which is nice, but there aren't very…read moremany places that indicate trails lengths or where to go. It's not that huge that I think anyone would get lost and it's very wide open. All dogs on the trail while we went were leashed which was great. Pretty nice place for a picnic with large open grounds. No bathrooms or water that I saw but did have it's own parking lot (although small)

    I usually don't like paved trails, but beggars choosers sometimes. Definitely great for wheelchairs…read moreand slow walkers. I will say there's enough natural elements to distract from the huge concrete sidewalk extending the entire length of the path, which ends up emptying into a community and another fitness path (has outdoor equipment stops) on one end and a pasture of wild flowers (mostly common milkweed for monarch butterflies) roughly midpoint. At the pasture the trail is definitely NOT paved and rather rough to navigate. If you have problems walking, be cautious, yet try experiencing it in the spring and late summer to catch glimpse of the butterflies and their caterpillars eating away before their chrysalis stage. There's a small parking lot at the beginning of the trail big enough for 20 cars. This includes a couple handicap spots. I've been there twice now on the weekend and I've lucked out to find a few spots open. Once you park DON'T head for the tempting metal bridge. Go in the opposite direction where you'll see the regulations sign. Then you'll know you're in the right spot!
