What Is Covered Here
Please be advised that this site deals only with the Pigeon Creek NRT system. You may find trails that are not documented here when out on Pigeon Creek trails. Example: Trail 204 is a Connector trail that leads to an adjoining trail system.

Selecting Trails
For photos, descriptions, and maps for each trail click the trail number in the trail list below.  At the bottom of each trail page you'll see links to the maps for each specific trail. The easiest way to use the trail system is to print out the main trail system map. Park at one of the two trail heads, then follow the map to the trails of your choice.

Trail Maps
There are two types of maps for each trail on this Web site. The first type is an Outline Map, the second type is a Topo Map (topographical). Any one of them can be printed out, but your best bet is to print out one of the maps showing the entire trail system. You will need to use 8.5 x 14 inch paper! The outline maps are much easier to follow and load faster, but they do not show the detail of the topo maps. Topos are provided primarily for serious racers who require terrain detail.

Clickable Links Within Maps
In any of the maps you can click a trail numbers and parking lot symbols (big red "P") for details.
