We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Chapin Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Chapin Trail
Great little loop trail through a City of Bellevue restoration site. What a beautiful little forest. Some crazy looking guy was crunching around in the underbrush but it turns out it was a parks worker trying to remove invasive species. Nice work Bellevue.
The trail and woods are so quiet! I could hear the birds rustling in the leaves.
Relaxing walk through the woods surprisingly close to downtown Bellevue.
