About the Rock Creek Greenway
The Rock Creek Greenway is about 2 miles of shaded, paved trail that links downtown Gainesville to Lake Lanier. It strings together four city parks, Rock Creek Veterans Park, Ivey Terrace Park, Wilshire Trails Park and Longwood Park, so it's an easy walk, run or bike ride from the square to the water.
