Confirmed from Cedar Creek Waterway'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.
Park offering a 2.5-mi. hiking and biking trail with emergency towers.
What runners say about Cedar Creek Waterway
“Decent sized trail, always clean and well kept”
“Best place to walk it's so beautiful it is family friendly pet friendly and a great place to let the littles ride bikes or scooters.”
This is a lovely walk along a creek. Most of the time, you're in nature on a nice concrete path. If it's recently rained, the creek is flowing. We went the day after a hard rain. The path, at places, would've been under a few feet of water the day of the heavy rain. There's people walking, running, and biking.
At the beginning trail has bike station. There is emergency poles through the trail. Has been upgraded only went in .5 of a mile because of the rain. Nice clean cement trail. Pictures taken 11/24
Great place to see nature. U can walk the trail with your dog and you can ride bicycle on. The trail is about 2 miles and the loop is about 4 miles
Great place for a small hike or a lovely bike ride. There are also safety stations down the trail. Only warning is wear bug spray!
