Confirmed from Big Indian Creek Waterway Trails' 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.
Natural area with a paved boardwalk, benches, and picnic tables, plus hiking trails.

“The trails were nice, clean and shaded.”

There are plenty of photos to depict this place. But very little information on the actual trails. Let me help. When you get to the parking lot to your right or very short trails good for kids and it's very open.
As a traveler, this place is A FANTASTIC place to stretch your legs with your dogs, or without. One section (going right) is all paved, the other section left) has a boardwalk. The boardwalk is quite slick when wet and I'm a sure footed athlete. I did two of the 3 paths for almost 2.5 miles.
Great place to take toddlers on their bikes. Wide paved trail and in the shade.
We had a fun day here with a few extra friends yesterday. The trails were nice, clean and shaded. Lots to explore with the kids. Before our friends got there we walked about half way down the longer trail before turning around to meet them. We'll have to go back and finish that side soon.
