Confirmed from Six Mile 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.
Wooded park along Six Mile Creek featuring kid-friendly hikes, mountain biking, and picnic tables.
What runners say about Six Mile Creek Park
“So many great views here, plenty of nice trails and creek too, I came in the fall and not a lot of mud thankfully.”
“Beautiful, peaceful part with great amenities.”
Very nice place to walk. Went during the week and during normal working hours so I won't say that on the weekends and evenings that it's not busy. The trails seem to be pretty beat down so I can only presume, going off of that, it's pretty popular all the time. Some decent inclines, a few benches along the way.
Nice hike. Some trails to start off then they end. It can be an easy short hike or if you're going for a long hike prepare to cross the creek a few times. Very enjoyable 90 min. hike to Interstate 90.
Awesome place to hike. There are assorted paths for various skill levels. It's also gorgeous there.
Nice wide trails, not too muddy after the rain. The creek was very high and fast though we visited after over 24 hours of rain. Parking lot is very big and the park was easy to find. Trails were easy mostly and good for hiking with dogs.
