Confirmed from Big Creek'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.
Popular park known for its paved and woodland trails for walking and hiking as well as biking.

There is nothing to complain about, it's perfect for walk or run or biking or just a casual stroll. It do get slippery after a rain on wood, so have to be careful
Very nice paved trail through the forest. lol Mileage markers alone the path and educational signage of foliage a long the trail.
Super nice spot to run! I usually run trails, but this has been a nice addition to my runs. It can get crowded in the parking lot, but never to the point of aggravation.
lovely place to walk, bike, run, jog... tons of trees to block the sun's heat but there's plenty of light. gorgeous walkway and transports you to a hike in the suburbs
