Confirmed from Jim Kaemingk Sr Trail'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.
Neighborhood hiking area with a public restroom and a children's park.
What runners say about Jim Kaemingk Sr Trail
“Not the most exciting or scenic but it is large and well maintained.”
“This hiking area is absolutely gorgeous and I love it and you should visit it , the views and the feelings are out of this world and I Love that it was so peaceful”
I have lived and worked in the Lynden area for 20 yrs. While showing a home with HomeSmart One Realty, on Cedar Dr. , We could see this amazing cottage across the river from our property. I had not seen it from the back side before. You qalk directly in front of it on the trail. Be sure to take notice!
A good trail system connecting neighborhoods to the two biggest parks in lynden. Great for leisure activities and well kept! No real practical uses such as walk/ bike commuting, but nonetheless a nice trail system.
