Confirmed from Williamson Creek Greenbelt'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.
Natural linear park along a creek with wildflowers enjoyed by mountain bikers, hikers & dog walkers.
What runners say about Williamson Creek Greenbelt
“They are improving the trails and the wild flowers are really beautiful in the spring time.”
“We take our dogs walking there on a regular basis and it is really peaceful and beautiful.”
This is a great little area for residents in nearby neighborhoods. Not a lot of good trail, but maybe .5 - 1.5 miles. Some decent water holes after a rain for the dogs
They are improving the trails and the wild flowers are really beautiful in the spring time. I hope they will continue to improve and connect the trails in this area.
I love this little place, but its definitely a bit on the wild side if you leave the small trail (1mi?) that have been made. Bring water and a friend and wear some long pants to avoid the poison ivy!
We take our dogs walking there on a regular basis and it is really peaceful and beautiful.
