Garst Mill Greenway

Garst Mill Greenway

Garst Mill Greenway, a half mile, paved section of Mudlick Creek Greenway, is located in Roanoke County’s Garst Mill Park. This neighborhood park has many facilities for families, such as playgrounds, picnic shelter, tennis courts, and ball fields. The greenway begins with a bridge and parallels the creek through the park. Frequent users include children learning to ride bikes, groups with wheelchairs, neighbors walking dogs, and folks with mobility impairments. There are two memorial benches honoring greenway founders Lee Eddy and Charlie Blankenship. This creek has seen significant flooding in the past, which the County has addressed through riparian buffers and stream restoration, so be prepared to leave if the creek starts to rise!
