Info

The trail will meet Reedy Fork Creek and continue along its floodplain and link into sections of existing trails in Lake Higgins Park with linkages to Bur-Mil-Park and Lake Brandt. The lakes segment that included the Moore’s Creek corridor section was field-surveyed in January 2001. On September 15-16, 2000, the field teams surveyed the areas between Stanley Huff Road and the junction of Moore’s Creek and Reedy Fork Creek at Lewiston Road. This survey included the last segment of Reedy Fork Creek to the proposed Lake Higgins trailhead. A small portion of the northernmost section of Reedy Fork Creek was evaluated at its confluence with Lake Brandt. Representatives from Bur-Mil-Park extensively surveyed this area of the creek. This survey extended from the confluence of Reedy Fork Creek south to Lewiston Road. In addition to the field survey, a driving tour of adjacent roads and properties along the creek corridor was performed to understand the surrounding land use and character of the creek. This section of the creek was deemed unsuitable for development because of the amount of disturbance to the watershed and numerous wetlands and branded stream patterns of Reedy Fork Creek in its headwaters with Lake Brandt. The primary trail will parallel a small portion of the road, then cross onto and use public school property to the confluence of Moore’s Creek. Moore’s Creek flows through a suburban corridor to Stanley Huff Road. A traffic crossing will be necessary to link to the other side of the trail. The Piedmont Greenway will follow a more rural segment as it leaves Stanley Huff Road and continues its track along the northern stream corridor of Moore’s Creek. This section of Moore’s Creek offers some of the most spectacular views and natural biodiversity of the whole corridor. The trail will share use with some equestrian trails already in place and then continue through the stream corridor and open fields until reaching Lewiston Road and the confluence of Moore’s Creek and Reedy Fork Creek. The trail will follow under the bridge at Lewiston Road and traverse a proposed boardwalk trail through the wetlands and riparian forest cover of Reedy Fork Creek. The trail takes on a more pronounced topography as it travels uphill and away from the creek bottom and follows the uplands to the vistas of Lake Higgins and Lake Brandt. The potential for pedestrian and bicycle activity within the Bur-Mil-Park to feed into the southern portion of the Piedmont Greenway is exciting. This connection would allow residents of nearby neighborhoods to access the Piedmont Greenway corridor. Important sites and schools include Lake Higgins, Lake Brandt, and Summerfield Elementary School. Spur Trails (Neighborhood) Connectors Intended to help spur the connectivity of neighborhoods to their surroundings, connector trails will offer “safe walks” along public roads that will connect open spaces and provide residents with alternative routes to school, shopping or work, and recreational destinations (see figure 2, page 29).
