Trail Context
This trail follows the Kinder Morgan pipeline easement along the north side of the HCFCD drainage channel. The easement runs largely through single-family
neighborhoods with semi-frequent crossings of low volume residential streets. The trail route is currently mowed and used extensively by area residents. The route provides a number of key connections with other local and regional trail routes.
