Hinkle Creek Post Guide

The Hinkle Creek Trail is a one mile long trip with 50 posts along the way. During your walk along the trail you have the chance to see many wonderful sights, such as fish in Hinkle Creek, deer, coyotes, and even if you get lucky, the wondrous White Tailed Kite. Enjoy the environment to its fullest, with the nice shade and beautiful views. Hinkle Creek has a great mix of human intervention and pure nature. Savor your trip to Hinkle Creek. Also, this guide will need some changes over time, so feedback on the trail is wonderful.
