Confirmed from Alligator Creek Walking Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Alligator Creek Walking Trail
Its a beautiful walking biking jogging trail close to the area of homes . Accesible from a few subdivisions. Its 8 feet wide and there are a couple of small deer families that are living in the woods . After rains the path can become muddy . The city has a power brushing machine that will brush the path .
Very pleasant walking trail, accessible. All paved. Great for bikes, strollers, running, etc. multiple dog waste disposal areas.
