== Trail Overview ==
<!-- Enter a overview of the trail. What attracts you to this trail, points of interest, types of flowers, lakes, and peaks that you see along the way. -->
Located in [[Persimmon Ridge Park]].  A short hike through second generation hardwoods which would be excellent for young families as they could combine with the other nearby trails to determine an overall length.

== How to get there ==
<!-- Please enter detailed instruction on how to find the trail head. -->
Driving direction on main park page.  Park at the far lot behind the water park and near the Civitans pavilion.  Trail off gravel road on other side of the long wooden bridge.

== Route Description==
<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
The below distance is between the trail signs.  It is likely that the long wood bridge was part of Walter's Eagle project, thus should be included but was uncertain when measurements were being made.

== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
Hard dirt trail.  Little use of switchbacks or water bars for erosion control.  Might have had yellow blazes at one time, but could not see many.  Someone has removed several blowdowns from the winter and spring storms, but benefited from clipping to open up the path.

== Regulations ==
NO BIKES!

== Misc. Information ==
<!-- Enter any additional information that doesn't fit an any other fields. Any seasonal features, factoids, etc...? -->
The trail is named after Walter Hopkins, who led its construction for his Eagle Scout project.  Might have been part of local Boy Scout Troop 39 (to be confirmed).

== Maps ==
<!-- You can place pictures, PDF's, links, or even create a Google map with your waypoints and place it here. -->
