Confirmed from Oklawaha Greenway Trail-Patton Park Access' 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.
Bike path meanders along the Mud Creek with picnic pavilions, skate park, and a playground.
What runners say about Oklawaha Greenway Trail-Patton Park Access
“Luckily the trail is well maintained so I had a lot of chances to pull over and dry heave for a bit.”
“It a beautiful enjoyable place to walk yourself, walk a dog ,ride a bike.”
“A great trail for running, biking and walking.”
Absolutely beautiful scenery and great trail for walking or bike riding.
Got back into biking recently after not doing it much since my parents' divorce. Trail is gorgeous since during the summer and fall. Not too difficult but some of the inclines made me seriously regret eating a plate of spaghetti and not bringing water before embarking.
Great place to walk your dog, ride bikes with the kids, or go across to Patton Park and feed the ducks in the pond. You can shoot hoops on one of the courts, or skateboard in the skate park on the Patton Park side. Across the road there is the Oklawaha trail which goes in two different directions.
I love this walk. It is so beautiful and connected with nature that for a minute you might get the feeling you are hiking in the mountains when you are actually walking in the center of Hendersonville. I would love for other visitors to be mindful of keeping it clean.
