Crane Creek Regional Park

Crane Creek Regional Park features rolling grasslands and beautiful oaks east of Rohnert Park. The 128-acre park has 3.5 miles of trails and an 18-hole disc golf course. Crane Creek flows through the middle of the park. Ridges offer sweeping views of the countryside. Meadows are covered with wildflowers in spring.

Picnic tables are located throughout the park. Restrooms are in the parking lot. There is no drinking fountain.

Trails

Multi-use trails loop around the perimeter of the park, with additional hiking-only trails crossing the interior and running along the creek. 

Crane Creek offers 3.5 miles of trail through meadows and oak woodlands. The trails cover rolling terrain, with the easiest trails running parallel to Crane Creek beneath mature oaks. For a little bit more exertion, the Fiddleneck and Hawk Ridge trails offer excellent views from the top of the eastern hill.

The Fiddleneck, Buckeye, and Northern Loop trails are suitable for equestrians, hikers, and bikers. Many equestrians enjoy riding the seasonal firebreak that follows the southwestern boundary of the park. The remaining trails are suitable for hiking only.

The Creek and Lupine trails are wheelchair accessible with a compacted gravel surface.
