Confirmed from Itchepackesassa Creek Wetland'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.
Country park featuring a short walking trail that's good for kids and dogs, and fishing.

“Love hiking trail it's peaceful,birds you can walk or just lay in the grass ❤️ and park on other side is good also good walking if you want concrete path .”
Nice out of the way place to walk and enjoy nature. 1.5 mile loop from the parking lot. The trail is a wide, low mowed grass burm that should be accessible to almost anyone if you can get through the gate. Quite a bit of wildlife, mostly saw birds, frogs and rabbits on this trip.
Nice short walking trail. Great place to tale the dog. Less than 1.5 miles. On a breezy day, it's really nice. You can catch some birds out here if you are quiet, but there is road noise
