This is a nice little bike/running trail in Mission that starts right by the Mission Target and ends at Martway and Lamar. Right now, it’s just about a mile long, but if you don’t mind running/riding on gravel it extends up to Johnson and Nall. Eventually that stretch will be asphalted. The end goal is to extend the trail to connect to other trails around town. That will be a welcome addition since this is the closest little trail to my house and I ride it when I just want to get a quick little ride in. Even though the trail is short, it is a little hilly and will give you a pretty good ride. The trail also has good signage which always gives me a little chuckle(the signs are small versions of street signs telling you the trail is going to curve). It’s not a real scenic trail, there’s a little creek running adjacent to it, but you really have to strain your eyes to see it. You’re mostly riding beside and behind the Target and Hy-Vee. I wouldn’t go out of my way to ride the Rock Creek Trail if I were you, but if you’re in the neighborhood it’s a nice little place to ride without being bothered by traffic. I’ve never seen anybody else on the trail, so you can definitely go as fast as you want without worrying about running any joggers or walkers over, which is nice. When they get it extended to a more sizable length I’ll bump it up a star, but for now, it’s the worst of my bike riding choices.
