Confirmed from Cedar Niles Park 119th St Trailhead'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 Cedar Niles Park 119th St Trailhead
“Gorgeous out here, even covered in snow!”
We walked this trail for the first time today and it turned out to be a good choice. Wide paved path with lots of nature. It was pretty wet today and we noticed lots of deer tracks. Plenty of paved parking.
Very nice paved trail. Approximately 3.15 miles from trailhead at 135th to trailhead at 119th. 135th trailhead area has restrooms, covered picnic area, bike rack with air pump, and rope style playground.
We walk this trail probably once a week and can't wait to see a bridge go in over the creek on the western end of the trail. I wish I'd taken a photo this morning to upload. The trees are so pretty. Two weeks ago we saw several deer and a bobcat!
Beautiful paved walking/biking trail. No restrooms, but there is a porta potty. There is a mountain bike system with access from a different parking spot.

“135th trailhead area has restrooms, covered picnic area, bike rack with air pump, and rope style playground.”
