What to expect

The Brushy Creek Greenbelt is a scenic area with a 22.4-km out-and-back trail that is suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and birding. The trail is open year-round and features a mix of paved and crushed granite paths, with approximately 2/3 of the trail being shaded. The area has several parks, playgrounds, bathrooms, and water fountains, making it a great destination for families. The trail also features a waterfall and offers opportunities for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The area is accessible, with 12 designated accessible spaces in the paved parking lot and a paved trail surface that is at least 6 feet wide. However, some sections of the trail may be steep or unpaved, and trail users with mobility equipment or strollers may need assistance in these areas
