Dix to Lake Johnson loop 8.1 miles

This short loop uses the new Walnut Creek Trail connector near Trailwood Dr. The route is easily extended on Dix Park, at Lake Johnson, and through Centennial Campus.

Walnut Creek Trail stays close to the creek between Lake Johnson and Centennial Campus.
The former soccer fields off Hunt Dr. near Western Blvd. is the departure point for this and most rides on this site.

After crossing Dix park, the route follows Main Campus Dr. for about 1.5 miles.

There is a bike lane on Thistledown between Trailwood and Gorman.

For years there has been an awkward transition on the Walnut Creek Trail at Trailwood Dr. This summer a new connector was completed, avoiding the sidewalk on Avent Ferry Rd.

There are many ways to cut through Centennial Campus to get back to the Hunt Dr. and Western Blvd. intersection where this loop began. This route follows the very peaceful Varsity Greenway up into the campus.
