Galloway Creek Greenway is located throughout southeast Springfield, this almost 6-mile greenway includes pedestrian underpasses to provide a safe environment for walking, biking and wheelchair use. The greenway is a valued part of this high-traffic area, linking neighborhoods with historic Sequiota Park, Springfield Lake, the nature center's trails, area schools and churches. This trail has been such a success that public demand for more greenways has increased (designated 2003).

	On the Memory Lane National Recreation Trail

Memory Lane Trail — Located in Wappapello, this 1-mile trail takes visitors down "memory lane" as they walk through the old town of Greenville, one of the sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors have the opportunity to tour the sidewalks of Old Greenville on a self guided historic walk. In addition to its historic resources, this trail allows for biking, roller skating, and other recreational activities (designated 2005).

Prairie Creek Greenway — Recognized as one of the premier greenways in the Kansas City metro area, this 3.8-mile urban trail and greenway features a rock waterfall and restored prairie meadows, allows for a variety of recreational activities, and encourages positive economic impacts with planned connections to surrounding trail systems (designated 2007).

Table Rock Lakeshore Trail — Located just south of the Table Rock Lake Dam in Branson, this nature trail extends over 2 miles along the beautiful shores of Table Rock Lake. This accessible trail allows everyone to enjoy the area's wildlife habitat, rock outcroppings, and four local attractions.
