Confirmed from Delta East-West Pathway Boardwalk'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 Delta East-West Pathway Boardwalk
“Boardwalk is well maintained.”
“Boardwalk gets you over some wet areas and provides for a nice scenic view over some natural wetlands.”
Beautiful and well- maintained. Nice ups and downs that are good for walking, biking, and running. Good place for walking a dog. The boardwalk is long and refreshing.
Very nice trail to walk! Well maintained too. The colors are great right now & we enjoyed the ‘snowing leaves!’ 🍁🍂 Warning though, the address in this listing is not correct to get to the trail. Don’t turn right into the neighborhood but continue straight. You’ll see entrances on both sides of the road.
Great boardwalk along a cool path. Nice paved path for walking, biking, and skating. Boardwalk gets you over some wet areas and provides for a nice scenic view over some natural wetlands. Boardwalk is well maintained. Boards are typically in place, no screws/nails exposed, wood isn't overly splintered.
A beautiful trail that crosses Carrier Creek. Very discreet place to go hiking or take your dog for a walk!
