About Dry Creek Trail

The 5.6-mile Peggy Mensinger Trail (often called the Dry Creek Trail) is a flat, paved, family—friendly greenway that runs west to east. With neighborhoods to the north and south, it provides a popular gateway for residents. The trail parallels Dry Creek—aptly named, as the rainfall-dependent water flow typically runs quite low. The pathway is narrow, but as the trail meanders from side to side, it never feels restricted.

Reviews

This has always been a place for me to feel like I’m not in town.. It’s a breath of fresh air. Everyone that comes here are from different backgrounds, yet we all know that the creek is a safe space for everyone to just be. To escape the day to day noise and to have a moment to yourself on a bench in a quick corner of the world. Bikers, joggers, dog walkers, marathoners, strollers, skaters, walk n talkers… We’re all here and respect the balance.
