Confirmed from Line Creek 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.
What runners say about Line Creek Trail
Really neat trail with a few different options for distance and terrain. I veered off the main trail and into some beautiful nature! I saw two red-headed woodpeckers on this trip, too 💞
Parking starts across the street and you have to walk under a short bridge to get to the trail although you can walk across at the side walk. The whole thing is evenly paved so it’s nice on the knees. I went around 9am and it wasn’t many people.
Flat surface walk way. Ppl bike and walk the trail. Scenic and peaceful.
Trail conditions & character
