The Wakefield Trail follows the power line from Falls of Neuse Road south to London Bell Drive, just under 1.5 miles. There is a slight jog in the trail where it meets Wakefield Plantation Drive. If you're heading south, at Wakefield Plantation Drive, go right, cross the creek, then cross over the road (near where the median strip begins) to pick up the southern segment of the Wakefield Trail.
The trail passes by a golf course and among subdivisions. Use caution at street crossings.
Street parking is available near the 12405 block of Dunard Street and the 2900 block of London Bell Drive. For more information, contact:

Except for section from London Bell to Wakefield Plantation, this trail was disappointing. There is no entrance at Dunford so detoured by sidewalks, and the section north to Old Falls of Neuse was closed. Short trail got much shorter.
