Confirmed from McTavish-Woodridge Open Space 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 McTavish-Woodridge Open Space Trail
This is a nice trail. I can't give 5 stars because the road nose is very loud for half the trail, and it's not clearly marked, so if you aren't paying attention, you get the smaller internal loop instead of the whole thing.
Nice place to go for a quick hike. Wide trails in good condition. Fairly steep and treacherous in places. Have to keep a close eye on small children. We enjoy looking for and picking the salmon berries.
A mile-long trail along the lake-hill parkway. A great place to explore nature. You could also go to the other side of lake-hill parkway for Kelsey farm area...
This is a really nice hidden oasis in Bellevue. It's all old mature forest with well maintained trails. It also has ups and downs, it' s not all flat. Our kids like when we take them here for a short hike.
Trail conditions & character
“But, it's beautiful in there, and the change of elevation pushes you a bit so you feel like you got a good walk in.”
