Confirmed from Gold Creek County 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 Gold Creek County Park
“This park is small but quaint shaded and has real restrooms Clean, cold and clear water rolls through the park.”
“I would give it a fine 5 ⭐️, if I wasn’t almost 70 yrs old, knee surgeries, fused back etc I love that it was shady on a day too hot to be out of the shade.”
“Quiet and tucked away, this walking path offers ample room to take in old(er) growth scenery.”
Building seems defunct but plenty of parking and the trails are maintained. Trails are rolling hills as the park has a ravine down the middle. Nice, quiet place for a walk, just look out for the horse pies! Gold Creek Equestrian Center is up the road and it appears they use they use the trails as well. 👍
Nice park with walking trails in Woodinville. Trails are maintained well, just watch your step since it's also a horse trail. The new garden at the bottom came out so lovely and is a great spot to have a picnic.
Steep incline to start, then flattens out a bit. Amazing views and serene environment immediately. Great walk/hike 🥾
I would give it a fine 5 ⭐️, if I wasn’t almost 70 yrs old, knee surgeries, fused back etc I love that it was shady on a day too hot to be out of the shade. I “forgot” how careful one needs to be on certain type trails.
