Rode this trail, loved it!
Had a blast with about 10 others on this ride. Great scenery not very difficult or much elevation change. The tunnel was awesome!!! I definitely want to come back!!!
1. If you are cyclist, don't bring a road bike. You'll need a gravel bike or mountain bike. The first hill is very difficult, about a 12% grade. A road bike will not be able to do this on a gravel path.
2. Many people walk their dogs on this trail...off leash. A majority of dogs are friendly, however I did have a black lab chase me down on the trail. Be careful.
3. Watch out for horse poop.
Beautiful trail, 7/10.
Sadly, only the northern section through Herrings Park is away from terrible traffic.
A beautiful trail, with several waterfalls, we start with the factoring and conclude until the beginning of bellevue with a last waterfall and a wonderful fossil! worth knowing! me and my husband are always looking for new trails, because each hma reserves a secret, beauty and peace.
beautiful landscape, and there are different levels of hiking this trail. Also there is the Wallace river to view also. But in order to get a view of it, you will have to get on Kellogg Lake ed, then climb.
My wife and I went for a bike ride on this trail for the first time it’s a decent steady climb uphill so when you reach the end of the trail it’s a pretty quick ride back down! My biggest complaint is that it runs next to the highway the entire way. It makes it harder to hear each other if you want to have a conversation :/ probably won’t do it again but the fun part is on the way back!
I would recommend this park, not very big and off the beaten path, but still tranquil.
Born and raised here... My wife and took our 4 children, we walked, jogged, and biked the entire trail and back. There were some unexpected hills that might test your endurance! It was a little hard at times to follow the signs to stay on the trail but I suppose that's where anyone with a smart phone these days can just use the map in this app!! Overall we enjoyed the beautiful sights and views of the city nestled within the beautiful neighborhoods. We will be visiting this trail again for sure
The trail has a two way paved path and is well kept along the entire trail. There were multiple up and down hill sections which could be challenging if you are beginning on on a fixed gear cycle. The downhills could lead to a disaster with poor brakes or a child. The three sections are not marked off very well; I was left wondering if I was going the right way while on the road. If I knew how long the road sections were, I wouldn’t have wasted time riding on the sidewalk and pulling into multiple parking lots. Overall it was a good ride despite that.
