Confirmed from Lions Club Roadside 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 Lions Club Roadside Park
“A lot of picnic tables, green grass, public restrooms and great views of the river check all the boxes for the reason to stop and check it out.”
The Mount Vernon Lions Club Riverside Park is well designed with beautiful landscaping. There is a long cement / brick walkway above the river that is perfect to wall along. The walkway is about 8 feet wide and has benches along the route. There is plenty of parking and is accessible for people with limited mobility.
Great little place with a great view of the SkagitRiver, connects to the Riverwalk trail. Restrooms. Parking.
Watch the River flow ~~~ Connect with Riverside and Kulshan Trails. Restrooms, picnic tables and shelter rest on a grassy area along Skagit River in Washington State.
No fish, gets of fun in the sun. All trails to the river are up and down , this way that way, and in the brush. Well worth the small hike.
