What else is compatible? I posted something like this in the Southeast thread and the Birmingham people didn't like it when I shut them down because nothing compares there, and I'm from there. They're (we're) very protective apparently.
Anyway, I just loved how the Katy Trail was so popular and social. You can walk/ride/run in a pretty urban and safe environment. I want to visit other cities and want to check out these types of things.

Never been on Katy Trail, but from what I browsed, sounds like Indian Bend Wash mentioned by
Obadno might be the nearest equivalent in the Phoenix area, especially if what you like about Katy trial is that there are a lot of people around. Indian Bend Wash is about 3x longer than Katy Trail and in addition to running/biking has a lot of other outdoor activities.

There's probably 50 miles of paved bike/pedestrian trails along the canals in Phoenix metro. They're generally nice and enjoyable, but in most places (at least in my experience) not really a social event.
