Confirmed from Muddy 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.
Pet-friendly outdoor space featuring paved trails for biking, hiking and skating.
What runners say about Muddy Creek Greenway
“It is a beautiful setting out in the country and also in the woods and there are a few miles of trails.”
“Great family-friendly place to walk, run and ride bikes.”
One of my favorite greenways, trails, and activity center for hiking, biking, and more. You can access the greenway from both Meadowlark Road next to the middle and elementary school as well as two lots off Robinhood Rd. Love the views, greenery, and creek.
Such a peaceful and beautiful walk. My dogs enjoy the trail and there's a dog run for those who prefer that. Highly recommend it if you need a day out to clear your mind.

Absolutely beautiful. Nice paved walkway, wide enough for walkers and bikes at same time. Beautiful woods to walk through! I can't wait to go back!
