You can start this basically flat, easy walking, out and back paved trail from several points and walk or ride all or part of it. Small green signs on wooden posts provide directions and police call boxes are spaced at various points for your protection.

You will walk or ride on quiet city streets, and some sidewalks, as you pass old mill buildings, through two scenic parks, and into the USC Greek Village. At Granby Park—the Mill Village Riverlink connects to this park's excellent trail system—you can sit along the river and enjoy the sounds of birds. At Olympia Park you sit and enjoy the soothing sound of the creek water flowing through the park. The Riverlink is a component of the Three Rivers Greenway trail network.
