Lace-up and Hit the Trails Today

The hard surface trail is made of both asphalt and boardwalk. As it follows the Magruder Branch stream valley, the 4.2-mile trail offers views of the surrounding upland forests and provides wonderful birding opportunities. The boardwalk sections of the trail span the stream and associated wetland areas.

The natural surface trail heads south just outside Magruder Recreation Park continuing down the Magruder Branch Stream Valley. The trail becomes the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail south of Watkins Road.

Unless noted otherwise on the map, trails marked “Natural Surface” and “Hard Surface” are “Shared by All” trails which includes hikers, bikers, and equestrians.
