This trail crosses over Rt. 751. On one side is the Shepherd Nature Trail on the other is Gate 6. These trails are easy to miss if no one else is parked there.Shepherd Nature Trail is a 1/2 hour loop along and crossing over a creek. It has some gradual hills, but nothing difficult. It is great for kids and dogs. There are signs along the trail that help to educate you.We took the trail that is on the opposite site of the Shepherd Nature trail. It is Gate 6 and was a wide gravel/pine needled path that had some gradual hills. If you follow it all the way it takes you out to the road again. There is a bridge over a running stream. It would be good for dogs, running, biking or just hiking.

Good trails with excellent nature information boards along the way.

Great wilderness trail in wooded setting, but slightly less than 1 mile

It was a bit short, had to go around a few times to get the miles in but the elevations were a good work out. Burned quite a few calories .

Love coming here because its a loop and theres usually not a lot of people here. My dogs love playing on the bridge that goes over the water.

Lovely woods for a leisurely stroll. A creek runs through. Completely shaded by tall trees, so walking even on a summer noon is pleasant. Accessible by bus too, from downtown. Spotted this owl there

Great hike for a first date

Love how Durham has all these little walking trails very convenient when you bike to work.

Awesome trails. Best place to take your animals and great exercise.

Great place to take my senior dog for a nature walk.

Beautiful, short loop trail through woods and over a creek

Short hike great for young kids

Fantastic Nature addition
