Owls Roost is part of the Bur-Mil Park trail system and features 8 miles of beautiful track near Greensboro, NC.<br />
The trail descends down, passing some gullies along the way, until it reaches the shores of Lake Brandt where you can take in beautiful views of the pristine lake. Hike through scenic pine tree filled woods, but be aware that this is a multi-use trail, and it is very popular with mountain bikers.
"From I-85 take 220 North (Battleground Ave). After 10 miles on Battleground, turn right on Owls Roost Road. Look for parking lot on left at Bur-Mill park. If you're feeling saucy after a ride a Country Park, ride on Old Battleground and turn right on Lake Brandt Rd. Take the first paved path on the left of the road through an apartment complex. The path will end, take a left onto the street and the paved path will continue on the right. Take this greenway all the way to the end (crossing over Lake Brandt) where it intersects Owl's Roost Road. Take a left and look for the gravel parking lot on the right.
