This section parallels the Wolf River between Humphreys Boulevard and the water on smooth pavement, carried over the river on pedestrian bridges. The shaded river-bottom corridor offers easy birding and water views a short drive from downtown Memphis, distinct from the unpaved backcountry trails of the nearby Lucius Burch natural area.
