In conjunction with the Coal Creek Trail, this trail provides a pleasant scenic loop walk that crosses Coal Creek on attractive bridges. It starts on the Coal Creek Trail near Newcastle Commons, one mile southeast from the Red Cedar Trailhead on Coal Creek Parkway. The trail meanders near Coal Creek in a deep valley with dense woods, ferns, and moss. When it rejoins the Coal Creek Trail, you can continue one mile east to Red Town and Cougar Mountain Park, or loop .6 miles back to the trailhead, passing a short access trail to the YMCA. The trailhead is only .3 miles by trail from the Commons.
