Confirmed from Scriber Creek 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.

“Beautiful, little children's park & a Duck & Geese Lake, PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY around park area, there are Baby Geese everywhere and someone ran over one of there babies.”

The main entry is on the Lynnwood Transit Center Park & Ride. Its actually a very cool spot and the trees offer a nice place to relax and get out of the heat and into the shade when its really hot out. It was a pretty clean place last time I was there. I hope its stayed that way.

★★★★★ — Dale , Jan 2023

Such a beautiful place to go for a break from the chaos of the growing city Lynnwood has become. It's not necessarily big but it's enough to forget your still in town, not out in the woods. Wonderful place to find some peace while walking or find a bench and clear a busy mind surrounded by nature.

★★★★★ — Jared , May 2022

It is a small trail, would be good only if it’s maintained well. I walked this morning and found the trail was damp and covered by wild bushes. Hopefully this will be taken care after the nearby transit construction is over.

★★★★☆ — Nathan , Sep 2022

When I'm walking to the transit center it's a better alternative to walking on 200th St. The creek trail can get VERY muddy and often is impassable after a heavy rain.

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.
