The trail is paved and crosses the creek here between Eben Park and the Boulder Creek trail. You can also use this as a great trailhead from which to access the mountains and canyons just west of here.

This little reservoir is a nice waypoint on your travels to or from the neighborhoods of Washington Village and Pine Hill, or nearby Maxwell Park. There's a paved trail that makes cycling here easy.
