Making its way from Bond Road to Waterman Road through the center of Elk Grove, the popular Laguna Creek Trail features two miles of paved, off-street trails for biking, running, horseback riding or just a leisurely stroll. One of our most scenic trails, every section is teeming with diverse and plentiful vegetation and wildlife – from the Swainson’s hawks and blue herons to popcorn flowers and tules. The Laguna Creek Trail provides easy access for students at Elk Grove Elementary and Kerr Middle Schools as well as Albiani Middle School and Pleasant Grove High School at a bit of a distance. Laguna Creek Trail offers access to Old Town Elk Grove, Camden Lake, and many shopping and dining centers.
Be mindful of other trail users. Keep pets on a leash and dispose of pet waste and litter in designated receptacles.

The East Franklin, Poppy Ridge, and Laguna Ridge neighborhoods along Franklin Creek are home to the five and a half-mile-long, paved Franklin Creek Trail – one of the City’s newer trails that boasts some of the highest use and rich connections to other community amenities. The trail promotes healthy lifestyles, offering the opportunity for everything from a bike ride or jog to a casual stroll or walking the dog. Outlets along the trail provide direct or close access to nearly a dozen parks, schools, and popular shopping destinations, including Kohl’s, Raley’s, Nugget Market, Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, and many local businesses and restaurants.
A bicycle helmet should sit low on the forehead, just above the eyebrows. It should fit snugly and the two side plastic pieces on the straps should fit just under the ears. The buckle should be just under the chin, with one finger’s width of space between the strap and chin. The helmet must always be buckled while riding. The helmet should not move more than ½ inch in any direction.
