Trails Summary and Maps

Trails are grouped below under their park locations. Remember that some of the trails may continue through a park or natural area, either connecting you with another park or ending at a neighborhood access point. Please note that many neighborhood entrances do not provide parking areas; however, there are many entrances that have space for vehicles.  
     
To help us all enjoy the natural resources of our trail system, please follow these simple rules:

  • Trails are open from sunrise to sunset only.
  • The collection of plant, animal, mineral and historic items is prohibited.
  • Motorized vehicles are not allowed.
  • Dogs must be leashed at all times.
  • Alcoholic beverages are prohibited. 
Entrances are clearly marked with signs that list the entrance names and distances to points along the trail. Information is also posted about rules, regulations and other interesting features of the trail. Multi-Use trails are suitable for strollers, in-line skaters and walkers of all ages. The Blackwater Creek Bikeway is handicapped accessible.
