Bear Creek Greenway in Talent and Phoenix
The Bear Creek Greenway is a 20-mile biking and hiking path from Ashland to Central Point, passing through Talent, Phoenix and Medford. Segments were built in stages between 1973 and 1998, and the whole route was complete by 2011. Expect occasional root bumps and rough spots.
The path follows Bear Creek, so it is the easiest on-foot or on-bike link between Talent and Phoenix. The City of Phoenix has a Bear Creek Greenway page with local access information.
