Confirmed from Lynn Creek Linear 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.

PavedFlat & fast

This narrow, mostly flat park features a 1.16-mile paved trail for walking & biking.

“It's just a beautiful place to go!”

Bear and I love going to the Nature Center!! We walked 5 miles and it didn't even feel like it. It's just a beautiful place to go!!!

★★★★★ — Rachel , Oct 2022

It is a fun place to exercise and walk your pets, no uphills or downhills, everything is plane flat. Just watch your steps, As in everyother place you will find careless people that do not pick up after their pets so you will end up stepping in their poop.....

★★★★☆ — Juan , Aug 2019

Cool place to run or ride a bike. Wouldn't recommend touring it in the dark.

★★★★☆ — Mahmoud , Aug 2024

Lynn creek park is a good park, primarily because of good visibility for walkers. One is not surprised by other users of the park. The wildlife is very good and clearly visible. Birds abound.

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.
