Starting February 2025, each month we are highlighting a different trail within the District. Through this initiative, we aim to educate our residents about all the wonderful facets of our extensive and diverse trail system. Next up on the list for April:

Woods Greenbelt

Location/Parking: Parking is available along Ephraim Road near its intersections with Wilmont Cove and Monona Avenue.

Description: This 0.58-mile crushed granite trail starts at Ephraim Road near its intersection with Wilmont Cove, crosses Delavan Avenue and ends at another segment of Ephraim Road.

Lighting: There is no lighting on this trail.

Special features: The Woods Trail runs through the Woods neighborhood along a greenbelt. It is dog friendly and features a drinking fountain for people and pets at Delavan Avenue. There is a switchback at about the middle of the trail and a creek that is full during rainy seasons.

Difficulty level: At roughly the halfway point, there is an elevation shift that warrants a difficulty rating of easy to intermediate.

Flora: Cedar trees, live oak trees, and bluebonnets (when in season) are all visible from this trail. There is also an abundance of poison oak along the greenbelt, so we encourage users not to veer from the trail path.

Fauna: Wildlife spotted throughout the trail includes coyotes, cottontail rabbits, jack rabbits, rattlesnakes, rough earth snakes, fence lizards, anoles, Mexican free-tail bats, opossums, squirrels, and white tail deer.

Bicycle friendly: Yes
