Galloway Creek Greenway is a lovely trail very popular in Springfield. The trail packs a lot of nature in a short distance. When I rode it on a Sunday morning in June, there were a number of people on the trail walking, jogging, or bike riding. The trail, which runs approximately 5 miles north-south is asphalt paved and is in pretty good condition except for a few spots. A few sections could be helped with trimming of shrubs which have overgrown into the trail path. The trail crosses a few minor roads, and surprisingly it crosses a rail track once at grade, and then goes under the track at another place. Also, the trail goes by a beautiful Pet cemetery, and several places right next to the creek and wetlands. Do not miss going on the short branch off trail to the James River bridge for beautiful views of the river from the bridge. The trail also has a connection to the Springfield Nature Conservation Area at the south end, though that path is not paved. Also, enjoy visiting the beautiful Sequiota Park about midway on the trail.

The best part of the trail is that there isn't one! You can let your kids and pets swim in the creek, find deer in the early morning or early evening, spot owls, hawks and eagles, and just really be one with nature. There are parts that are flat. Parts that are hilly. Parts that are fields and parts that are forests. Challenge yourself and start in riverside, walk all the way to Barry Road then back down. Go off the beaten path and visit "the little white store" (also known as Price Right) and really enjoy this Northland Gem.

Little Blue Trace Trail in Independence is an awesome trail for riding a bike. The trail is 15.6 miles long running mostly north-south next to Little Blue River. A few miles of the south section (south of Hartman Heritage Center Trailhead, near Mile 10) are concrete paved, and the rest is hard-packed smooth gravel maintained very well. The trail traverses a variety of vegetation including shady forests, restorative prairie, and meadows. The trail basically follows the Little Blue River, and in fact at some it is very close to the river. Several rest benches and picnic tables are provided along the trail, almost every two miles. There are occasional historical markers of interest, also. Watch for water puddles and muck on the trail under wet conditions. Little Blue Trace Trail is a beautiful bike ride all the way through! It is also a great place birding.
