Confirmed from Boundary Creek Natural Resource Area'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.
Pond, creek and river views to be had at this clean park that is home to a variety of wildlife and dogs.

What a nice little park! Very popular even on a winter weekday, so I imagine it would be packed in the spring and summer. The perimeter loop trail is about 3/4 mile and mostly flat, although one portion of the trail is slightly sloped and has some erosion. Otherwise the park is very accessible.

An excellent small nature park! There is a good amount of parking, restrooms and trail map posted. There are many benches and even a picnic area. It is a 1 mile loop trail with several offshoot trails to viewing areas. It is recommended to go to those areas which are accessible via boardwalks.
