Description
Nature-lovers, birdwatchers and history buffs will enjoy the many hidden gems this trail has to offer, including a waterfall (hidden off of side trail), nesting bald eagles, an old cemetery (another side trail) and a wall built more than 100 years ago. The trail—formerly known as the Eufaula Rail-Trail—boasts splendid views of Lake Eufaula.
Phase 2 of the trail was completed in 2010 and includes a path over the old trestle across the lake, heading north to Old Creek Town, the former site of a Creek Indian village. The trail begins in downtown EuFaula, in front of the Eufaula/Barbour County Chamber of Commerce.
Parking and Trail Access
Parking is available at the Chamber of Commerce, 333 E. Broad St., and at the Old Creek Town Recreation Area on Lake Drive.
