Bike Trail (from Rhodes Park over to Holton Park off N. Eureka Avenue)
West Broad - N. Eureka Ave.
It is a bike trail that begins at the Holton Recreation Center at 301 N. Eureka Avenue, just south of Valleyview, goes along the creek through a park along Glenview Drive, through some woods, runs past the state office buildings on the hill on the north side of Broad Street, down the hill and ends in the rear of Rhodes Park. Lots of trees, bushes, etc. and rough trade that wanders through on foot or on bike. Much more private than down in Rhodes Park. Park in one of the parking areas and walk up the bike trail. The good part is just past the state office buildings where the bushes and woods are ... there's also a large open field. Activity is best off the trail in the wooded areas or across the field in the wooded area on the foot trails along the creek.
Neighbourhood: Hilltop
You go down West Broad Street, just to the west of I-70 to Rhodes Park. Park in one of the parking areas and walk up the bike trail. The alternative is to go up to the parking lot of the Holton Recreation Center, park the car, walk across Eureka Avenue to the beginning of the bike trail and follow it through the small park as it goes into the woods.

- Hours:Early morning, mid-afternoons, evenings, at dusk and just when it gets dark.
- Cruising Info/ Tips:Use common sense. There's an active block watch group in the homes across the street from the park, so don't hang out and be obvious out in the open within view of the residents. People know where they can go to get something, so you don't need to worry about advertising in this neighborhood ... just keep it under wraps so as not to spoil the location.
- Nudity / Policy:Keep it in the wooded areas out of sight as kids and families also use this bike trail for walks, etc.
- Wheelchair Accessible:No / No steps or stairs, level blacktop trail. The side foot paths however tend to be a rougher terrain.
- Warnings:Again, use common sense; remember you live in a big city, so always stay alert as to your surroundings.
