We don't know the name of this little creek, or if it even has one. But, surprising as it seems, during a heavy rain it can get high enough and fast enough to carry away our trail bridges. Any other time, it's just a beautiful place to take a walk. This is just a short ways from Claudius Crozet Park. Keep walking, and you'll find a great spot for the kids to play in the creek.
The Crozet Greenway is a multi-use trail system developed by the Crozet Trails Crew and Albemarle County. The Crozet Connector Trail is designed to connect the neighborhoods east of Crozet Avenue, from the Claudius Crozet Park to Lickinghole Basin. Pedestrian access is available in Crozet Park, Westhall, Foothill Crossing, Western Ridge, and Westlake. In this beautiful area you will walk along a pretty creek and through the meadows of a flood plain. Bridges along the trail are named for winners of the annual Crozet Trails Crew 5K trail race, which takes place on this trail system. You may see signs of beaver and eagles. A map of the Crozet Trail system is available on the Crozet Trails Crew website.
