Confirmed from Burnt Bridge Creek Trail'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.
Flat paved trail biking & foot trail passing through open grasslands & heavily wooded areas.
What runners say about Burnt Bridge Creek Trail
“The paths are neat, clean, well maintained, and accessible.”
“Very peaceful and beautiful park with wide cement path.”
“Beautiful scenery, friendly people of all ages.”
It was off and on raining while I was here, but the tree coverage was so thick and full that I only felt a few raindrops! I could hear the sound of the rain, yet enjoy my hike dry. 😊 There are several hiking trails to explore, so definitely get off the main trail for a more adventurous experience.
Excellent combination paved/brick path that is wide and well cared for. It appears to be quite popular. The paths are neat, clean, well maintained, and accessible. Aside from the powerlines overhead, there is a lot of natural beauty in the forested and wetlands areas.
I have walked and biked a 2 to 4 mile section in the middle. I am amazed at how well this trail is nestled in the middle of the city. There are places where the sound of cars in the distance is the only indication that you aren't in the middle of a forest. It's the perfect getaway.
Quiet, wooded and green, bridges over creeks. It does go over some major roads but then back.into the Greenways. Good foraging for herbalists on the devine to Andresen trail.
