Creekline Trails of Opelika

Our work is to create creekside trails and greenways
for recreation, transportation, and conservation.

Creekline Trails of Opelika is a citizen-led project to connect neighbors with nature by developing multi-use creekside trails and greenways along the beautiful watershed streams of Opelika, Alabama.

EXPLORING
CREEKLINE TRAILS

Creekline Trails continues to develop a combination of multi-use, wide, paved trails along with natural trails designed for walking, running, and biking. Trails are designed for safe recreation and fitness. Creekline Trails of Opelika is a project in progress starting with our first mile of construction now underway and planning more projects section by section with a goal of adding more miles of trails in the future.

We appreciate our sponsors and supporters!

THANK YOU!!! We are incredibly delighted to be mor

THANK YOU!!! We are incredibly delighted to be more than halfway to our goal of $9700 for installing a pocket park at Sandy Point on the Pepperell Branch Creekline trail. With the help of @opelikagivingday and generous donations from people like you, we are more than half way there!

The pocket park installation includes signage, seating, planting and bicycle parking to make this mid-trail stop more inviting. If you missed giving day, no worries! You can still donate via our new and improved website: creeklineopelika.org

Thank you again and we hope to see you out on the trail soon!

You have just over 36 hours to donate to Creekline thru Opelika Giving Day!!!

We've spent hours upon hour upon hours cleaning up the Pepperell Branch Creek and trail corridor over the last year getting it ready for the public. These previous volunteer days dedicated to cleaning up enable us to envision the pocket park at Sandy Point. Learn more at www.creeklineopelika.org

Help us, help you! Want a cute little beach to sit

Help us, help you! Want a cute little beach to sit next to while taking a rest from your stroll along the Pepperell Branch Trail? We've got just the spot for you! Pepperell Branch Pocket Park at Sandy Point.

This year, the 1 mile trail section that meanders along Pepperell Branch Creek and circles back up to the Woodduck Nature Park will be paved! This level of accessibility is a labor of love and is going to be an exciting addition to the community. For Opelika Giving Day, we hope you'll contribute to the first amenities location we're hoping to add to the trail. About midway along the primary route, there is a bend in the creek with a lovely beach. We'd like to make it a destination to relax and take in the view.

Your donations will go to:
--Benches
--Educational Signage
--Accessible Picnic Tables
--Tree Planting to encourage more shade in the area
--Bike Rack
--Hardscaping to allow for accessible picnic area

@opelikagivingday is up and running until May 10th! We're sharing highlights from 2022 to entice you into helping fund our 2023 project at Pepperell Branch Creek!

Projects included in these photos:
--Just over 1 mile of trail was cleared and mulched to open initial access to the creekside trail along Pepperell Branch Creek.
--The Southeast Conservation Corps came to assist with more technical trail elements like a short timber bridge, switchback buildout and a sidehill trail in a wetland area we've named Rocky Rise.
--Donated dollars were put to use to put in a small parking lot at the trailhead on Waverly Parkway.
-- Opelika Chamber of Commerce's 20 Under 40 program did a major day of cleaning on the trail, removing all sorts of debris and TONS of invasive privet from sections of the trail.
