Trail Overview
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
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
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.
| Miles | Walter Hopkins Trail | Miles | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0 | Trailhead on gravel road | 0.43 | 1711 |
| 0.16 | Up on highpoint | 0.27 | 1871 |
| 0.43 | Trailhead at sign by bridge | 0.0 | 1705 |
Typical Conditions
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
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
Walter Hopkins Trail is shown as green line below, while Luke Carter Trail is in red. Gravel access road is blue line.
