Confirmed from Indian Creek Greenway'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.
Long, narrow stretch of woods running along Indian Creek & featuring a walking trail.
What runners say about Indian Creek Greenway
“Indian Creek Greenway is a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.”
“Great Park, Excellent walking/running trail, good for Biking as well.”
“It was a very popular place today, so if you are needing a quiet stroll this might not be your best bet.”
This is a great place for a nice walk or run. There are a few park benches to sit and relax, and some spots to set up a hammock by the stream. The whole stretch is roughly 5 miles both ways, all paved so its a good walk even after a rainy day, also perfect to throw around some frisbees!
Great place for a walk or bike ride. There is a dog park near the park that is nice. Greenway is easily accessible for people w special needs. Easy parking and transitions to the walking path. There are a few paths to the creek along the greenway and some are deep enough that kids swims and play in the water.
It's a green beautiful nature preserve which is about 6 miles long. Nice place for lots of activities such as walking, running or cycling. There is a creek along the path. You will see varieties of long trees and wild animals there.
Had a fun time walking alongside the Indian Creek. Pretty and very interesting trees in the creekside
