Confirmed from Rocky Creek Park'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.
Park featuring a lake, trails, and picnic tables, suitable for families.
What runners say about Rocky Creek Park
“Nice mowed paths, clean drinking water from the dispensers in campsites, multiple boat ramps, bathrooms and shower houses are clean.”
“Gorgeous place to walk without having to pay.”
Okay, if you're expecting a well-maintained park with public bathrooms and parking directly next to the lake, this ain't it. However, if you're up for an adventure and a little mystery, Rocky Creek Park is your go-to destination. You basically drive up to a fork in the road, where both directions are blocked by gates.
This is an army corp of engineers park with a $5 per car insurance fee. It's not the most up-to-date facility and definitely could use some maintenance dollars, but the wildflowers this year were insane. It felt like we were walking through the California super bloom!
Gorgeous place to walk without having to pay. The staff on site are awesome!
It was quiet and nice place to walk! Not far from me and with the lake views and sounds. Not sure how it'll be when open, but we'll definitely be back
