Confirmed from Apple Capital Loop Trail- Empire Ave Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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 Apple Capital Loop Trail- Empire Ave Trailhead
“Beautiful ride around Wenatchee and up to Lincoln rock.”
Amazing bike trail! Start at Lincoln Rock Stste Park and ride 5.5 miles to the 10 mile loop around Wenatchee. Mostly flap and easy peddling.
Part of the Apple Loop Trail from Lincoln Rock State Park to Wenatchee Confluence State Park. Paved walking & biking trail. If you are a geocacher there are quite a few in the area.
Steep (8%) grade from the parking area to the trail. Be prepared for the climb back up! No restrooms until Lincoln Rock park.
