The West Trail is a paved trail in Winton Woods that is a short "out and back" style of trail. It is 0.9 miles one way, which makes for a nice 1.8 mile out and back walk.

Today was a beautiful day that was near 60 degrees, and plenty of sun. The West Trail is to the west side of Winton Road, and is less travelled than the trail that circles the lake on the east side of Winton Road, and has some nice views of the western side of Winton Lake. It is a convenient place to drive to for a little exercise, when I don't have time to drive further. There are somewhere between 5 and 6 miles of paved and unpaved trails in the park, so there is a little bit of everything. Here is a link to a map of the trail.
