The Nine Springs E-Way, an environmental corridor envisioned by planner and professor Phil Lewis, extends from Dunn's Marsh near Seminole Highway easterly to Lake Farm Park on Lake Waubesa, a distance of approximately seven miles. The corridor includes many points of interest. Natural features include large areas of wetland and sedge meadows, native forests, and many large springs that flow into Nine Springs Creek. These features provide ideal habitats for a wide variety of vegetation and wildlife in the corridor. A system of trails that includes the Capital City Trail is being developed for year-round public use and enjoyment. The trail system provides opportunities for jogging, hiking, biking, nature study, photography, and cross-country skiing. The trails also lead to scenic overlooks and vistas of the surrounding areas. The corridor and trails provide an excellent outdoor classroom for nature studies, science projects and school field trips. At present, six miles of trail have been established on the eastern end of the E-Way corridor. The trailhead, located near Lake Farm Park, can be reached from US Highway 12/18, south on South Towne Drive and then east on Moorland Road to the Nine Springs E-Way parking lot.
