About three quarters of a mile east of Anderson Point Park on the Crabtree Creek Trail, the greenway passes near a sharp bend in the waterway. The land rises 20 to 30 feet above the water surface and affords a view of the coming and going of Crabtree Creek. On the south side of the creek, the side on which the trail passes, many large boulders are embedded in the bank. In fact, this grouping of rock has surely created the bend by resisting the inevitable forces of the water over the centuries. One boulder in particular, near the greenway, provides a perch for contemplating the flow of water and time.
Like a park in the middle of the city, this seemingly secluded spot is surrounded by light industrial buildings, a rail line, and a yard waste center across the creek. All that is easy to forget, and is in fact not visible, while looking out over the water from the south bank of the creek. There are lightly worn trails to the rock and to the water, so this spot is no secret. The boulders down at the water level make an ideal spot for picnics, fishing, and perhaps even swimming. A park bench here would be a welcome addition. The north side of the creek is the inside of the curve and features a small beach. This is one of the nicest spots on the Crabtree Creek Trail.
