Confirmed from Everett 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.

This is one of my favorite places! There is a new bicycle park the kids love. Plus a playground and access to the bike trail. Walk along side the river or get across town. Lots of things to do and lots of room to do it. If your looking to get your steps in or your kids out this is the place.

Nice park. It sits along the river and bike path . Has a dog park . Community garden . Awesome skate park area . And a play set . But wouldnt recommend anyone with toddlers or babies to bring them to the playground. The playset is mainly for big kids . Mainly just monkey bars and ect.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

The practical stuff

  • AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
  • At the trailheadparking — reported by runners

  • Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
