My experience on the Iron Horse Trail was limited to the Walnut Creek area. The trail was super clean and the sights quite varied.

Iron Horse Trail is great for walking, running, roller blading, cycling. I enjoy starting by Peet's Coffee in Danville so I can have a coffee after my work out.

Wonderful bike/walking trail that doesn't parallel the main roads. It can be busy at times on the weekends. A wonderful way to get around or enjoy some exercise. The trail is wide and not hemmed in by houses. The trail does cross roads, but there are signals or signs to give right-of-way to the trail users.

Path is wide and generally busy on the weekends and day times (can be especially busy around school starting and ending time...

It's very secure, as it's so well-traveled. Paved and clean it goes a distance and connects different communities. Esp. great on a bike. Sunday mornings can be packed so be aware of that. Every community should have such a trail!
