City Trails

The Parks and Recreation Department maintains several hiking and biking trails in and around the City:

Carpenter Trail and Natural Area

This trail can be accessed from two locations.  On the East side, it begins as the sidewalk on the northwest corner of Mildred Road and Empire Street and heads north.  On the West end, the trail may be accessed on Lebanon Road north of Highway 491. This great open space offers opportunities for hiking, biking, rollerblading, nature watching or whatever else the imagination may allow.  The main 1.5 mile trail is paved.  There are also many dirt paths that veer off into the hills.  These are perfect for the more adventurous soul that prefers off road hiking and biking.

Mesa Trail

The Mesa Trailhead is located at end of South Cedar Street.  The trail run is 1 mile each way and passes through the north end of the Hawkins Preserve.
