Confirmed from Blunn Creek Greenbelt'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.
Serene, wooded green space along a creek featuring a tree-lined trail & BBQ pits.
What runners say about Blunn Creek Greenbelt
“Such a beautiful walk any time of year, the trickling stream takes me to a wooded alcove that seems much further from civilization than in actuality.”
“Quiet walk on a Sunday afternoon.”
Went on a walk down the creek that runs under Larry Monroe Forever bridge with my boyfriend just to kill some time on a Saturday and get some fresh air. The creek was a little dried up this time of year, but it still made for a great little trek.
Greenbelts all over the place! This makes for a nice north/south bike ride or hike when you coming to or from the river. Generally very little traffic in the greenbelt on on the adjoining streets, which makes the trip nice and scenic. Also there is park equipment all along to satisfy the nearby residents.
A hidden gem just a few blocks east of S. Congress, terrific trail runs from Riverside to Live Oak, with Little Stacy Park at one end with playground, kids' pool, basketball, grass volleyball, and tennis courts, then Big Stacy pool at the other, open year-round & free.
