About
The West Ellerbee Creek Trail is a bicycle/pedestrian trail that currently runs from Hillandale Golf Course / Indian Trail Park (Perennial Drive) east-northeast along West Ellerbee Creek to Westover Park (Maryland Avenue) in Durham, NC.
A longer section continuing along the creek through Westover Park, across Guess Road, under I-85, and connecting with the main Ellerbee Creek Trail has been designed but not yet built. It will run through a tunnel under I-85 which was built during highway widening circa 2005 and using already-acquired right-of-way along the creek.
Spelling
Some sources spell Ellerbee as "Ellerbe"; it's not clear what the official spelling is. See Ellerbee Creek for further discussion.
