Confirmed from Harlan Landing'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.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Clean and full of trees surrounded on the west and south by the river.”

Great launching off point for- boating, greenway, bird and raptor watching, fishing and tubing,biking, picknicing or just taking 1 0 from work or hectic day- this little spot can cover it all. Only minus is no fresh water and primitive restroom.

★★★★★ — Thomas , Jun 2018

I love this spot with plenty of parking to just chill and quiet your thoughts, or there is a couple areas where you can walk to a beach head which is right by the Yakima River which flows through there.

★★★★★ — I , Jun 2021

Bike friendly, easy to get to using the bike path. Clean and full of trees surrounded on the west and south by the river. Picnic area with covered tables.

★★★★★ — Jeffery , May 2017

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.
