This trail is easily accessible from Waxhaw, NC. Go west on NC75 to Hancock Rd. at the NC-SC state line turn right go to Walnut Creek Parkway( there's no street sign but it's the only divided street) turn left go a short distance to the traffic circle. Parking lot is by the traffic circle and the trail head is at the back of the lot.
You will like this trail as it snakes along side 12 mile creek with some fun whoop de do areas and nice shaded sections, and I like the bridges over the little feeder creeks.
I will be visiting this trail a couple of times a week!

The trail is a mountain bike trail, roots, ruts, sharp turns and steep little hills. I was riding a hybrid bike and I was able to negotiate the trail, but it was at the limit for my bike. Only did about a mile.

The location was not findable with my GPS unit using the adress and streets.

Might be best to search for the Park name in order to get led to the correct location. We entered the address into Google maps and did not end up at the park --- close, but not exactly spot on. Once on the trail, we enjoyed the ups and downs of the mostly isolated and remote path. Construction of nearby homes could introduce noise pollution; we were thankful that we went on a weekend. Trail begins on paved park trails then changes to dirt for the remainder. We only made it to mile 2 before turning around, for a nice total of 4 miles on our afternoon walk. We will pack water next time and a little snack in order to be well fueled for the full trip. Two points that were especially nice: One was when the trail meandered through a beautiful white pine forest -- with those beautiful pine needles covering the forest floor and path. The second was a section where the trail looked down a steep bank to the creek below.
