To get to the northern section of trail take the Stewart Road exit off of SR-167 and go to the Sumner Meadows Golf Links to the east. To get to the southern section of trail from SR 167, take the Stewart Road exit, head east to Valentine Road and turn south. From there turn east on 16th Street East and head to the end of the road. The existing trail runs south from the end of 16th Street East, and the proposed trail will connect there and head north.
