Park Information
The Santa Rosa Creek Trail runs along Santa Rosa Creek for 2.14 miles between Willowside Road and Fulton Road, where the City of Santa Rosa's Prince Memorial Greenway continues into downtown Santa Rosa. The total distance on the trail network from Willowside Road to Santa Rosa Avenue is 6.18 miles.
Santa Rosa Creek Trail is a paved trail on the north side of the creek with views of the waterway, farms, vineyards and mountains, including Mount Saint Helena. The trail is popular year-round with walkers, joggers, equestrians, cyclists and dog owners and is not open to motorized traffic. There are three pedestrian/bicycle bridges that cross the following creeks: Wendel, Peterson and Piner. You can also access the trail by using the gravel maintenance roads located on these three creeks.
There is also a parallel gravel trail on the south side of Santa Rosa Creek operated and maintained by Sonoma Water.
When funding is available, the Santa Rosa Creek Trail will be extended westward from Willowside Road to Guerneville Road.
