This trail serves a connector between a number of neighborhood spots. You can follow it all the way from Back Cove to Payson Park, up to Canco Woods, through University Park and to PATHS high school. It crosses a number of different suburban city streets, and as the name suggests, a number of different brooks. This trail is also part of the much longer Sebago to the Sea route.
