Trail down to Wilber Park Apartments

Two parallel trails lead from the power line down to the lower open area of Wilber Park. This first (south) trail is primarily a mountain biking trail, skirting the edge of Wilber Park Apartments until it joins the "Bridge Street Traverse", (a main hiking trail that leads from the Wilber Park pavilion up the ridge and behind the high school.)
