Confirmed from Butternut 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.
What runners say about Butternut Creek Trail
This is a trail within the SoHi Butternut Creek neighborhood. It is being developed along the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Corridor. It is currently imcomplete, but features about half a mile of paved trail, and a hundred feet of rock trail as of 12/2019.
A nice, quiet paved pathway along the creek and protected nature area. There is no parking, just street parking. The path was maybe a mile long and it looks like they may continue it later on. The path just ends and runs into a patch of gravel for now. Pretty views of nature and the path itself was fun.
It’s a nice, little trail. There’s no parking lot but you can park on Deline Street, near the park, and walk from there.
Great path to take a short walk. Add a couple benches or tables and it would be perfect
