A 12-foot-wide, meandering asphalt trail is soon to be built by the Hill Place contractors through Pinnacle Prairie as one of the conditions of approval of the Hill Place project. It will connect wheel-chair users, walkers, joggers, bicyclists and nature lovers with W. 12th Street to the southeast and with sidewalks in the apartment complex leading east to W. 11th Street and S. Duncan Avenue to provide a circular paved route around the nature area and the new area of city park connected to World Peace Wetland Prairie's Northeast corner. From the prairie trail, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles also can travel about four blocks north inside the apartment complex, crossing a new traffic bridge over the Town Branch of the West Fork of the White River and reaching the Indian Trail that roughly follows the old right of way of the east-west railroad. A former railroad tunnel will allow trail-users to go northwest to Fayetteville High School and the University of Arkansas. Eventually, the trail to the east is expected to connect to the Frisco Trail that leads north along Tanglewood Branch and the E. Faye Jones nature park by the Fayetteville City Library and provides easy access to Dickson Street and the Scull Creek Trail northbound.
