Description:
The Walnut Creek Trail is divided into six segments: Lake Johnson (5.63 miles of paved and unpaved), Lower Walnut Creek, Lower Walnut Creek-Walnut Creek Park, Lower Walnut Creek-Worthdale, Middle Walnut Creek and Upper Walnut Creek. The Lake Johnson segment is the longest and it's the only section that has unpaved portions.

The trail affords stunning views of Lake Johnson, wildlife viewing (turtles, waterfowl, numerous bird species), a unique stand of big leaf magnolia (Lake Johnson segment), the Walnut Creek Wetland Center (Lower Walnut Creek segment) and areas of large loblolly pine (Upper Walnut Creek segment).

In addition, the Walnut Creek Trail system passes through recreational parks, state farmers' market, amphitheater and swimming pools.

The Walnut Creek Trail links to two other trails in the area: Rocky Branch and Little Rock.
