Confirmed from Cowskin Creek Bridge Crossing @ Swanson Park'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 Cowskin Creek Bridge Crossing @ Swanson Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (27 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Located in Swanson park this is a nice bridge that goes over the cowskin Creek and there's a nice nature trail somewhat private and I would highly recommend.
