Confirmed from Rock Creek Canyon Parkway'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.

“It is a beautiful walking path with picnic tables for taking a break.”

I entered Rock Creek to go hiking up off of Shoshone Street. There is parking and a porta potty right there. Note: There is no where to use the restroom on the hike to where I was. Also, I didn't notice this on the way down, however it is a road on the short decline down.

Its beautiful! There are wild rose hips, the trail is right along the river and it's a very decent trail length-wise. It starts at one end of town, near the gas Station across from Depot Grill and continues passed the old hospital to the Rock Creek Park and goes even passed that.

★★★★★ — Gwendolyn , Oct 2024

Lovely paved walking trail with benches and picnic tables along the way. Some of the benches are near the water and shaded making nice cool resting spots even when it's hot, sunny and not a cloud in sight.

★★★★☆ — Dillon , Jun 2021

Easy walk, wheelchair friendly, paved, no hills and beautiful. Has a playground for the kids and Frisbee golf. Lots of covered eating areas, people fishing. Really cute area. Great for walking dogs as well.

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.
