We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Al Borlin Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Al Borlin Trail
One of the most beautiful parks in the Northwest! It's nestled along the Skycomish River with many outstanding trails to hike with rich verdant vegetation including dozens of species of birds. A real treat for the entire family. If you're in Monroe you can't miss this gem.
**updated**this is a loved park by my son. Chad and Kirby would take him and let him run off energy along the trails **Updated** Romantic walks **Updated** today Jason, Chad & I walked the trails & we lit off a toy sized cannon it was very loud the. Trails where muddy today.
Sheltered picnic tables and rest room on Lewis Street in fair condition lower level at beach is waterfront only with a vandalized pit toilet. Dogs on leash and a great walking area on the Skykomish River, swimming, boat ramp and small playground (Lewis Street)
