Confirmed from Bike & Hike Trail - Barlow Road Lot'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 Bike & Hike Trail - Barlow Road Lot
Lots of places to start, good mix of hills and flat paved trail. Few spots have restrooms for stops, really no water along the way unless you stop back at your vehicle. You can make a loop through Kent to connect both ends of the southern trails or do out and back. Make sure you signal walkers and runners.
I enjoy the hike- bike trail frequently. The only aspect I don't love about it is the section that goes through a residential area and on the road. I prefer to stay on the paved trail.
