Nice short trail, mostly flat and goes right through Center Springs Park. Great for beginner bikers like myself. Always see people biking, walking dogs, just hanging out at any time of day.

About 3 miles or so . Very nice trail. Goes by a very pretty Center Springs park area. How for hiking or a bike ride. Pretty flat. Not hilly etc. Has two parking lots.

A great addition to the bike path system. Peaceful and serene. Amazing to view the old Cheney Mansions.

Not really an exciting hike, but more of an interesting historical curiosity. Was one time the shortest privately owned railroad in the United States. Mostly flat, level ground, but there's a nice pedestrian bridge when it reaches Center Springs Park. Some of the original rails still exist off of Hilliard St.

At the moment, about a mile and a quarter. They're currently working on extending it from center springs park to the mill apartments, and it'll be just over two miles then.
