Confirmed from SEPA Station 4 Waterfall 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“Such a peaceful ,nice place to go for a walk ,or just sit & listen to the waterfall and watch the birds 🐦 😀”

A hidden oasis right off Harlem Avenue with an unassuming entrance. After parking, you walk about 500 feet to this tranquil and relaxing place with man-made cascades/dams in circular forms.

Very nice small park at south for walking enjoying watching the waterfall and the birds surrounding you , don’t forget to grab a lot of bread to feed the birds , your kids will love it and very nice park for photo shoot, for your graduation or wedding too. It has free parking , very nice for small picnic.

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.
