The Out of Africa Trail is a paved trail that follows the southern banks of Alum Creek Lake. This trail is in homage to the significance of Alum Creek's history tied to the Underground Railroad. A portion of the passageway, known as Sycamore Trail, followed along Alum Creek. The road at the end of this trail, Africa Road, is named in honor of the settlement of 30 freed salves from North Carolina that once existed in the area.
