The Alum Creek Leisure Path is paved multipurpose greenway, sections of which are subject to closure when the creek has highwater. It is convenient to the ES Corporate Exchange. [ Gmaps Pedometer ] Columbus to Westerville if you turn North or Strawberry Farms Park and beyond when heading South.

GeoCoded Run(s)

Google has enhanced its Maps API and MapsGoogle will now display EarthGoogle KML files. Here is an example. The KML file is appended to the maps dot google URL. Use a web service like Gmaps Pedometer to build trace routes. Use Gmap to GPX and create a GPX file. This file can be imported into Google Earth where the . KML can be edited. The paid Google Earth Plus version will shortcut the above steps as it has all of the features in one place.

Forsythe Park

Lost count of the number of laps I’ve done around this one. Fun to jog through downtown Savannah and its park squares. The architecture is really neat looking. The south end of the park is still in decay but given time should be restored someday.

Greenville, SC

I have run this loop many times. The Reedy River Park is very scenic and the residential areas quite nice as well. The route is paved. Some huffing and puffing on the steep parts.

After crossing the New Jersey Turnpike in the Secacus Medowlands find the Mill Creek Marsh. A back water bay habitat and a nice escape from urban blight. Soft trail.

The Upper Newport Bay is a tidal backwater preserve with bike and equestrian greenway. Starting from the OC airport in Irvine the cement and glass buildings give way to wildlife refuge past the UC Irvine North Campus. There is a fence to jump at the end of Campus Drive but it wasn’t much of a barrier. An access road joins the park. 6.2 miles

Henderson, NV

An reliever airport location in the desert not far from Las Vegas. Lots of new road and building construction in this growth area. I’m sure it will be much changed upon next visit.

The pavement ends at the Aqua Caliente Indian Reservation and the trail portion becomes a hike due to desert terrain and steep rise. Otherwise, the route along North Palm Canyon, Tramway Rd., and the +1M residential area is paved. It’s a scenic 5.9 miles with a vista of windmill farms east of the Banning Pass.
