About

Salado Creek Greenway runs 12 paved miles from Wurzbach Pkwy north to Thousand Oaks, following Salado Creek through established North SA neighborhoods. The route is flatter than Leon Creek Greenway with more consistent shade from the riparian corridor. Several pocket parks and benches along the route make it good for casual outings. Popular with families and dog walkers.

Shade Details

Intermittent shade from creek vegetation. More consistent cover than exposed suburban trail alternatives.

Conditions & Tips

No restrooms or water on most of the route — plan accordingly. Sections near creek can flood.
