Found New Off-Leash Walking Trails

Have you ever wandered down Birkdale Commons Parkway away from the village. In case you haven't it has two side walks, a bike lane, and it is a wide street. At the end of the street is the Glens at Birkdale. If you keep walking through that 55+ community, you'll wind up on Babe Stillwell Road (thnk Charlotte's web). If you take a left, Babe Stillwell curves around a corner before dead ending into the McDowell Creek Water Treatment Plant. The Creek sits on a bout 1000 acres that I believe are preserved from development. Off to the left and right are trails that anyone can walk down into fields and the woods.
These trails are a great area for our dog to run around in. As the weather gets cooler and the ticks and snakes go into hibernation, we love to get outdoors. Our dog loves it too.
To and from the village this walk is about 3 miles and usually takes us about an hour because we walk slowly along the trails off Babe Stillwell.
I'll have to take some pictures to add to this post.
