Confirmed from Johnson 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.

★★★★★ — Stephanie , Jun 2023

Although perhaps not officially open (there was a series of cones and construction tape blocking off the parking lot and entrance to the path) I found a wide trail that could be enjoyed while walking skating or biking and enjoyed the opportunity to venture west until the end of the paved path (which unfortunately…

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character.
