Confirmed from Marsh Creek Trail Head'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 spot for biking and walking, this paved path also hosts runners.

Now that they smoothed out the section between Balfour and Dainty it's perfect for cycling. I absolutely love riding on this trail. Concord Ave. in Brentwood to Big Break in Oakley and back is 23 miles
Amazing beautiful place. Great for biking highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful walk, paths are smoothly paved and now there are new bathrooms built near the park very clean for public restrooms. Highly recommend.
Very nice trail in Brentwood for jogging, biking and walking with family and friends, near to the community park.Road is also renovated every year and maintained.
Cute trail in the city. Love how it goes under the intersections!! Fun artwork and signage ;)
