Mind the stairs as you exit the floating section, as the trail splits again. Turn left and you’ll head up a set of stairs, then down a steep sloping hill and up again to meet the yellow trail. Turn right and you’ll also encounter a set of stairs, as the trail splits once more. To the left, the green trail leads toward the yellow trail. To the right, it continues to wrap around the lake, and not long after, you will see a staircase that leads down to another pavilion overlooking the lake. With the staircase on your right, turning left is the quickest exit to the West Railroad Avenue trailhead. Continue straight and the trail creates a short loop through the woods, surrounding a small gazebo in the middle. Exiting the loop, you’ll want to turn right to reach the end of the green trail and the beginning of the yellow trail on your left.

The yellow trail, the only pathway in the park that permits equestrian use, parallels Railroad Avenue. Take care when crossing over Smithville Road before continuing straight. In this section, trees separate the path from the nearby road and, dampening the noise, offer a quiet respite. There are plans to continue the path, but for now the yellow trail ends just 0.8 mile from its start, with a cut-through providing access back down to the road.
