Pedal through a tranquil urban oasis on the Santa Rosa Creek Trail – Prince Greenway Park loop, an easy 24.2-mile (38.9 km) road cycling route with just 378 feet (115 metres) of elevation gain. You'll follow the Santa Rosa Creek, enjoying the sounds of flowing water and views of lush, restored landscapes. The Prince Memorial Greenway section is particularly scenic, featuring native plants, thoughtful landscaping, and integrated art installations like murals and sculptures, offering a peaceful journey through wooded corridors and open views.
Accessing this route from Montgomery Village is straightforward, with parking available nearby. The trail is designed for continuous riding, utilizing underpasses to keep cyclists safely separated from vehicle traffic. While predominantly paved, it's worth noting that some sections, especially further west, may transition to gravel. The estimated duration for this loop is a comfortable 1 hour and 48 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed outing.
This loop is a fantastic example of Santa Rosa's commitment to green spaces and connectivity, transforming a formerly channelized creek into a vibrant ecological corridor. It's part of a broader network of bike trails, offering connections to routes like the Joe Rodota Trail for those looking to extend their ride towards destinations like Sebastopol or the Sonoma wine country. The natural setting also provides opportunities for wildlife observation, particularly birdwatching.
