I have seen this trail in passing on bike on the western end of Hines Park, and decided to take a hike today. It looks promising but a work in progress. You easily bypass the parking area with the signage Ellsworth/ Holliday, so if you see the adjoining field, park at Nankin and take the footbridge.
It runs along a canal so bug spray recommended. I took it for the Yelp team with a few drops of blood when taking a few photos. The boardwalk and markers look new. However, after a few minutes it abruptly ends. You follow a dirt path into the back of houses, and I did not notice anymore markers and decided to turn around. According to the map there are four sections, so it would be nice to take a further walk.
