Confirmed from MASON CREEK NORTH HIKE & BIKE 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.
Wetland habitat featuring a paved trail with exercise stations, plus a playground & fishing spots.
What runners say about MASON CREEK NORTH HIKE & BIKE TRAIL
“The little playground by the parking lot is clean and very nice.”
“This is a beautiful park and trail where you can relax and enjoy the nature by walking and running!”
“Calm and clean park & trail at every season.”
I always enjoy this park early morning or late evening right before sunset. Half the park is on one side of Porter rd. and the other half on the other side. One side is connected to soccer parka, and surrounded by homes, and the other side is surrounded by homes.
This is a beautiful park and trail where you can relax and enjoy the nature by walking and running! Absolutely, it is not too big nor too small but perfect distance for looping. Great place for family gathering and spending! Nature is absolutely gorgeous tho!
Calm and clean park & trail at every season. The air is so refreshing and the view is amazing especially during fall! There lots of birds to watch and many more animals & bugs. We need a restroom at the entrance please!
Beautiful park to walk your dog. And to bring your kids! The trail is concrete so the kids can ride their scooter and bikes. Perfect to run there as well. The little playground by the parking lot is clean and very nice. We absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come back.
