Cherokee Park Scenic Loop

Designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Cherokee Park is known for its peaceful, tree-lined roads and trails. The Scenic Loop is a 2.4-mile route shared by walkers, joggers, and bikers. It’s one of the most iconic walking spots in the city.

The path takes you through wooded hills, open meadows, and over stone bridges. It’s beautiful any time of year, but fall is especially stunning when the leaves change color. It’s a great place to walk and soak in the atmosphere.

Seneca Park Trail

Just a few minutes from Cherokee Park, Seneca Park has a 1.2-mile walking path that’s easy, open, and friendly for all levels. It circles athletic fields and passes under tall trees that provide plenty of shade during the summer.

This trail has a lively, upbeat vibe with families, runners, and dog walkers enjoying the space together. There’s also a connection to nearby trails if you want to keep going and make it a longer adventure.

E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park Trail
