Confirmed from Saint Ellens Mine 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.
What runners say about Saint Ellens Mine Bike Trail
Kind of a cool little park with water. A nice walking trails to get you out and enjoy birds and just a little bit of nature. This would be a great family activity.
A great walk with my littles. Nice and quiet. There is a fence around the perimeter which gives me a little more ease when walking around the base of the hill trail. Didn't notice too many mosquitos. All in all a good walk. I would do it again someday. Maybe we will go again after the heat subsides.
