Confirmed from Prince Memorial Greenway 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Drought and floods, it all happened here, So beautiful in spring and summer.”

One of the best free places in Santa Rosa! City Center on the creek with a water feature for kids to enjoy. Walking paths with important water shed information posted along the way.

★★★★★ — Pairadox , Aug 2019

Pleasant enough in it's own right & an excellent route for pedestrians and bicyclists to travel between downtown Santa Ross and it's western edge.

★★★★★ — Traveler , Aug 2019

Well maintained, enjoyed by walkers, runners, skaters, and cyclists alike.

★★★★★ — Chris , May 2021

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. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
