Santa Rosa Creek Trail goes right downtown as a safe, shaded, paved connection for bikers and hikers. Santa Rosa has several well developed dedicated bike trails for enjoyable riding away from car traffic. The network is wide and trips can be from short level rides to longer destination rides e.g. to Sebastopol, Forestville, or into the Sonoma wine country, a shorter loop to the swimming beach at Spring Lake, or to the gravel trails through Annadel State Park.

The Joe Rodota Trail runs between Santa Rosa and Sebastopol. The trail starts at the pedestrian/bicycle bridge intersection with the Prince Memorial Greenway (between West 3rd Street and Railroad Street), southwest of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. The trail ends near the intersection of Mill Station Road and Highway 116 in Sebastopol. Access to the trail is located off the following public streets: Roberts Avenue, Dutton Avenue, Stony Point Road, Wright Road, Sebastopol Road, Merced Avenue, Llano Road, Petaluma Avenue, High School Road, Cleveland Avenue, Ellis Court, DuFranc Avenue, Hurlbut Avenue, and Highway 116. The Joe Rodota Trail is 8.47 miles of paved trail. Sections of the trail run along an abandoned railroad line. The trail offers an opportunity for families with young children to experience an outdoor outing for walking, bicycle riding, horseback riding, and roller skating. The trail meanders along agricultural ranches, and the Laguna of Santa Rosa. There are signs of the historic railroad throughout the property. Three bridges are on top of the old train trestles. The trail is especially popular in the spring with a burst of color from wildflowers. The trail is an excellent place for year-round bird watching. The West County Regional & Joe Rodota Trails are built along land that was once the Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railway, a line that linked Petaluma and Santa Rosa with Sebastopol and Forestville. The trails total fourteen miles long. The trails are paved for walking, bicycle riding, and roller skating. An unpaved equestrian trail runs parallel to the paved trail. Designated as a Community Millennium Trail by Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, the trail offers beautiful views of farms, vineyards, and other agricultural lands. Fall and Spring are particularly beautiful times of the year to use the trails. Please note that the most northern trail section in Forestville has not been completed.

Warren Richardson Trail is a gravel and dirt fireroad path in Annadel State Park leading from the main entrance and parking lots on the Park's eastern side to the height of the main ridge and then slightly down to beautiful Lake Ilsanjo near the middle of the park. There it connects with the Canyon Trail, the fireroad leading down on the western side and then north to the Santa Rosa Reservoir in Spring Lake Park.

Mostly gradual fireroad trail leading from the Santa Rosa Reservoir in Spring Lake Park to Lake Ilsanjo in the middle of Annadel State Park. The first couple of miles are mostly flat, smooth and well maintained gravel. The grade becomes more uphill after the 180 degree turn at the western pedestrian gate entrance to the park, some mildly technical washed-out sections going uphill, and a more gradual leveling off upon reaching and circling Lake Ilsanjo. There it connects with Warren Richardson Trail, the equally wide fireroad path leading slightly higher to a ridge and then down to the main entrance and parking lots on the Park's eastern side.
