This trail starts from St. John’s road just west of the By-pass. From the parking area the trail crosses Cardinal Creek and follows the creek north to Rineyville Road (1600). There is a bridge back across Cardinal Creek that goes into the Deerfield Hills Subdivision. The Briarwood Trail and its connection to the Billy Creek Trail can be accessed by way of this bridge, and by walking through the subdivision.

The Banam Shaw Trail, Billy Creek Trail and Briarwood Trail all three interconnect
