Description

Crane Creek Regional Park is a beautiful park filled with rolling hills, dense forest, and a tranquil creek. You and your pup can see all these furrific sights and more on the park’s 3.5 miles of hiking trails. Dogs are welcome to join you in this pawsitively amazing park on-leash.

Many of Crane Creek’s trails are short, but they connect to other trails in the park, creating loops. One popular loop is the 1.9-mile Fiddleneck-Lupine-Creek Trail loop. Begin by hopping on the Fiddleneck Trail, which starts right next to Crane Creek’s parking lot. On the first part of the trail, you’ll climb up a hill where you’ll get great views of the surrounding area. Then, you’ll walk through a forest filled with wildlife.

After you’ve walked 0.42 miles on the Fiddleneck Trail, you’ll reach the Lupine Trail. Turn right onto this trail, and follow it through a picturesque meadow filled with popcorn flowers, fiddlenecks, oak trees, and more. After a short, 0.15-mile walk, you’ll reach the Creek Trail. Turn right onto this trail. As you walk along this part of the trail, you’ll pass Crane Creek, and you’ll go through a shady forest. Then, near the end of the trail, you’ll go through another meadow that’s home to stunning wildflowers.

You’ll follow Creek Trail for the remainder of your 1.5-mile walk. The trail ends back at Crane Creek Regional Park’s parking lot, where restrooms and a picnic area are available. There’s no drinking water available in Crane Creek Park — be sure to bring a few bottles with you for your trek.

Crane Creek Regional Park is a pawesome park that has trails that take you up ridges, through meadows, and into the woods. Bring some doggy bags so you can clean up after your dog during your walk, and have a furrific time hiking here!
