It can be accessed from the corner of Second Avenue and the Hot Metal Bridge (and from the Eliza Furnace Trail via a ramp at the opposite corner of the Hot Metal Bridge), from Tecumseh Street at Gloster Street, or by Blair Street and Second Avenue.
The northern section has a crushed-stone surface. The next section has 10 foot wide asphalt-paved trail and a sidewalk, and runs alongside a road, Blair Street.
