Confirmed from Indian Creek - Sac & Fox 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.
Popular trail for hiking, walking, and biking, traversing woods, creeks and rivers.
What runners say about Indian Creek - Sac & Fox Trail
“Beautiful and well maintained trail - I hiked several miles of it with my dogs and wife.”
“It is one of most beautiful places to go to soak in the nature itself- no traffic sound, bird chirping, tree shadows on and off, comfortable pave to walk.”
Great hiking trail. There's a creek. Lots of shade. It's flat so it's appropriate for anyone.
I love this trail to walk my dogs or go bike riding. Within a minute you feel like you're out of town and in the woods! They keep up the surface as well as they can, as it is crushed limestone. The heavy rains ruin it every year, but they redo it afterward.
Beautiful trail. My dog loves taking a dip in the water and We love looking for cool rocks! Found a nice Geode today!
Great park. The Rosedale trailhead is a hidden gem. Check out the gravel trails and the singletrack.
