A multi-use trail along Dry Creek, from Cook Riolo Road to Riverside Avenue

Dry Creek Greenway West

Green shading denotes the study area.

In collaboration with Placer County and the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, the City of Roseville completed a Planning & Feasibility Study for the Dry Creek Greenway West. Following a year of public input and analysis, this study evaluates the possibility of a 3 mile multi-use trail between Cook Riolo Road and Riverside Avenue. Factors such as creek location, topography, safety, aesthetics, and land use impacts were considered. 

This potential trail would ultimately connect with the proposed Dry Creek Greenway East (Riverside Avenue to Old Auburn Road), as well as trails west of Cook Riolo Road in unincorporated Placer County. The Dry Creek Greenway is just one of the trails in Roseville's Bicycle Master Plan and Placer County's Bicycle Master Plan.

Benefits

Paved off-street tails provide active transportation and recreational opportunities for people of all abilities.

This potential trail would ultimately connect with the proposed Dry Creek Greenway East (Riverside Avenue to Old Auburn Road), as well as trails west of Cook Riolo Road in unincorporated Placer County. The Dry Creek Greenway is just one of the trails in Roseville's Bicycle Master Plan.
