Babbling Brook Trail

The Babbling Brook Trail in Highland Park is a short 0.2 mile out-and-back trail that leads from Reservoir Drive, next to the water pump station, down to the Carnegie Lake Walk Trail.

This is one of the most interesting trails in highland park, despite the short distance. The brook has a couple of small waterfalls and there's a nice wooden footbridge that leads over the brook before heading down the hill.
