Hogtown Creek Greenway is a series of urban nature preserves located in Gainesville, FL. These preserves, surrounded by neighborhoods and subdivisions, aim to preserve natural shorelines along the city's longest creek. While the parks do not have many developed amenities, they offer trails for hikers and cyclists to explore and immerse themselves in the beauty of deciduous forests.
The greenway stretches from the headwaters of Hogtown Creek to its splashdown into the Floridan Aquifer. Although the creek fluctuates in depth and passes through culverts, the preserves provide access to slices of nature in urban Gainesville and serve as havens for wildlife. Visitors can enjoy hiking or biking the trails, experience groomed or wild pathways, and appreciate the botanical beauty of the area.
