Comments: We parked near the school and started out by doing a loop around the lake. We followed the trail along the Russell Creek Greenbelt to Capstone Park and then back along more greenway until we came to a barrier blocking the trail prior to going under a bridge. We left the trail and took a path up to Custer Street. We followed city sidewalks to Barber Oak Drive where the trail starts again. We are now on the North side of the creek. There is another break in the trail on this side where we walked sidewalks before picking up the greenbelt again at Independence. From there it was all trail around the soccar fields past the fire station and back to where we were parked. A good walk if you lived in the area. Not something you would want to make a trip to do.
