We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ellen Davis 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 Ellen Davis Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

It's a beautiful trail with some cool views of the BPA building. Lots of bunnies and squirrels, some red tail hawks, and the occasional sasquatch hunter. Great place to walk your dog on leash, though bags and garbage cans are not provided, so pack accordingly.

★★★★★ — Christiaan , Feb 2022

Relatively short nature trail surrounding an out of the way neighborhood. Lots of tree cover and quite steep in some parts. Nice little jaunt when you need some fresh air.
