Emergencies:
Making its way from Bond Road to Waterman Road through the
center of Elk Grove, the popular Laguna Creek Trail features two
miles of paved, off-street trails for biking, running, horseback
riding or just a leisurely stroll. One of our most scenic trails, every
section is teeming with diverse and plentiful vegetation and
wildlife – from the Swainson’s hawks and blue herons to popcorn
flowers and tules. The Laguna Creek Trail provides easy access for
students at Elk Grove Elementary and Kerr Middle Schools as well
as Albiani Middle School and Pleasant Grove High School at a bit of
a distance. Laguna Creek Trail offers access to Old Town Elk Grove,
Camden Lake, and many shopping and dining centers.
Be mindful of other trail users. Keep pets on a leash and dispose
of pet waste and litter in designated receptacles.

Information about trails:
In the Foulks Ranch and Laguna Creek West subdivisions, from
Kilconnel Drive to Laguna Park Drive, winds another of Elk Grove’s
notable trails – the Foulks Ranch/Laguna Greenbelt. Nearly 1.6
miles of paved greenbelt and park walkways for walking, running,
jogging, skating and biking allow trail users access to parks and
playgrounds, athletic fields and open spaces, schools and shopping
centers. Lichtenberger, Batey, Kloss and Pedersen Parks are all within easy access of the Foulks Ranch/Laguna Greenbelt, as are
four shopping centers anchored by grocery and drugstores.

The East Franklin, Poppy Ridge, and Laguna Ridge neighborhoods
along Franklin Creek are home to the five and a half-mile-long,
paved Franklin Creek Trail – one of the City’s newer trails that
boasts some of the highest use and rich connections to other
community amenities. The trail promotes healthy lifestyles, offering
the opportunity for everything from a bike ride or jog to a casual
stroll or walking the dog. Outlets along the trail provide direct
or close access to nearly a dozen parks, schools, and popular
shopping destinations, including Kohl’s, Raley’s, Nugget Market,
Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, and many local businesses and restaurants.
A bicycle helmet should sit low on the forehead, just above the
eyebrows. It should fit snugly and the two side plastic pieces on
the straps should fit just under the ears. The buckle should be just
under the chin, with one finger’s width of space between the strap
and chin. The helmet must always be buckled while riding. The
helmet should not move more than ½ inch in any direction.
