As an extension to our ride on the Salem Lake Trail, we rode this greenway to add some extra miles. In my opinion, it’s a bit of a mixed bag.
The greenway itself is fairly narrow, and the pavement is rough in places and in need of repair. That said, the planners did a good job minimizing at-grade crossings, which helps keep the ride moving smoothly.
At one point, the trail closely follows Salem Creek and includes a fun water crossing. Be aware, though, that in this section there is a damaged concrete area where the trail narrows to a single pass—use caution when navigating through.
We rode as far as Central Park, though the greenway continues beyond that point.
The trail is mostly dirt, sand, and gravel, but it’s wide enough that passing walkers, runners, or other cyclists is easy. A few sections have been recently repaired with large gravel, so you’ll need to ride carefully in those areas.
There’s a lovely mix of sun and shade, along with cool breezes that make it feel far removed from populated areas. Parking is ample at the marina, though more limited at the Linville Road access. Both locations offer restroom facilities.
Part of the trail runs alongside Linville Road but remains completely separated from traffic. There are several hills, including a steep one near the marina. That section is paved, but unfortunately the asphalt is narrow and somewhat broken along one edge.
Near the marina, you can connect to the Salem Creek Greenway to extend your ride.
Definitely a trail I plan to return to.
My wife and I had fun. Beautiful scenery and wildlife! Our first trail, so our butts are a little sore. 7 miles is a good starting trail length.
Been on this trail for many years and it is increasingly hostile to rollerbladers. You are either almost getting run over by the bikers or almost being bitten by a dog who's owner can't handle them correctly. Used to be a good flat spot to rollerblade but its gone down hill because the people who are on have become exceptionally rude.
It's so bumpy and jarring you cannot get a rhythm. Do not recommend
Can make a 10 mike loop using several trails plus ride a couple surface streets. Very nice loop.
More hills than expected. We rode from parking lot at Fisher Street to the sports complex and there was a lot of street/sidewalk riding. Glad I had my ebike.
Actually 3.5 miles finished. Working on the last .5 mile. Will be a 4 mile loop around the city. Nice paved trail.
This is a connector trail, connecting uptown to the Dick & Willie. It’s paved and kept clean, there is a nice bathroom at the parking area.
