Confirmed from Mayde 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.
Recreation area offering hiking trails, a playground, and paths for biking.
What runners say about Mayde Creek North Hike & Bike Trail
“Trails are clean and dog's are on leashes.”
“Nice place to bike through, my usual route goes through this and it's nice to go away from the busy road into the nice quiet neighborhood.”
The google maps and pin pointed area will guide you to a house, which has no entrance there. If you are walking, you would see a metal gated area with flat grassland and pavement walk way. If you're driving, best bet is to park at Barker Reserve Recreation center and walk to the little area.
This is a flat trail with lots of different scenery, from open grass fields, creeks, to more track like areas. Several different paths , but several lead to a stopping point forcing you to double back. I enjoy going here and connecting with nature.
I really love this trail because the whole family can enjoy by either running, riding the bike or the kids playing on the playground.
Connects to Cullen Park trail. Mostly used by locals to get to Cullen and kids to get to school.
