Confirmed from Spencer Walking 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.

Kid-friendly area featuring hiking trails along a creek and a pickleball court.

“Lovely trail, pretty well maintained”

Amazing trail for a nice walk or short bike ride, great scenery, well done paths, rarely anything obstructing the trail that would cause me to swerve out of the way. Other than other people.

★★★★★ — Connor , Oct 2019

This trail is great! It connects to many parks, the Rec Plex, city center, and is close to many shops and restaurants.

★★★★★ — Ryan , Sep 2021

Boy oh boy what can I even say to express my love for the Spencer creek trails. Hands down some of the most amazing trails to walk anytime of the year,, winter, spring, in summer or fall. Get on your walkin boots and come have the time of your life, you won't be disappointed!!

★★★★★ — Kc , Mar 2021

If your home is close by, sure it is a nice place to walk but if you are looking for a "real trail" to enjoy, this is not it. It is just a nice park around nearberhod
