Onondaga Creekwalk, Urban recreational trail in Syracuse, United States.
The Onondaga Creekwalk is a paved path that runs through Syracuse, following the creek from its start in the north through the downtown area to the lake in the south. The route passes through multiple neighborhoods and connects several parks along the way.
Planning for this path started in the late 1980s with the goal of making the creek accessible to the public again. The first section opened in 1990 and was extended gradually over several decades until reaching its current form.
The kiosks placed along the route tell stories about Syracuse and how the community has reclaimed its waterfront over time. Visitors experience how the city has reconnected with its creek and lake.
The path is flat and well-suited for walkers, cyclists, and skaters of different skill levels. Parking is available at several access points, making it easy to start your visit from different locations.
At the northern end, three different long-distance trail networks meet, connecting local routes to regional paths. This junction makes it a key hub for longer journeys through the broader region.
