Crane Creek Canyon Loop

With multiple loops of varying length, this park is great for anyone looking for a casual hike around a beautiful area in the foothills of Rohnert Park. Crane Creek has nice secluded picnic areas next to the creek in the cover of willow, alder, buckeye and bay trees. There's also an 18-hole disc golf course available to play. Parking costs $7 for the day from an automated machine, but with the Sonoma County Parks membership, parking is always free.

The Hike

For a quick 1.4-mile loop trail, head north out of the Parking Lot, then west along Crane Creek. Take the trail all the way to the end, where it loops back to the parking area.
