Seneca Creek Greenway Trail

Conservation hike on the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail. The hike is only 4.5 miles over rolling countryside on a close-in, scenic, and pleasant trail. We will hike at a pace of 2 to 2.5 miles per hour and this hike is rated easy to moderate. The very existence of this trail in a suburban area is truly amazing.

Cost: Free; SCPRO requests a $2 donation per person to support our many volunteer-led activities.
