This trail has two main sections: a long, rolling, dirt-surface, nature trail between the Community Center and the high school; and a short, asphalt and boardwalk path through Craig Park. On the Craig Park portion of the trail, you will walk amid tall, shady trees in a quiet, hilly, creek-side park with playground and picnic areas. On the Community Center portion of the trail, you will follow an occasionally rugged, winding trail through woodland habitat, over footbridges and a suspension bridge that spans Thompson Creek. To connect between the high school and Craig Park, you will follow sidewalks along the streets. (Use caution crossing the streets). You can walk the trail as an out-and-back, or connect the loop by walking along Main Street between the downtown Craig Park entrance and the Community Center.

Insect repellant is recommended in warm weather. Pets are permitted on a leash.

Hours: Dawn to dusk (Craig Park: 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.)

In downtown Chesterfield, park on Main Street between Page Street and Park Drive and enter at the Craig Park sign under the archway facade between the buildings. Also, you can park at the Chesterfield Community Center just off West Main Street on Crescent Drive. (The trail sign is on West Main Street.)
