Confirmed from Weowna 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.

🌲 Nature’s Mic Drop in Bellevue 🌲 If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’ve wandered into a forested fairy tale without needing to pack a tent or fight off a bear, Weowna Park is your spot. The hiking trails?

★★★★★ — Michael , Jul 2025

Very nice for a morning or afternoon power walk! The reason why I said power walk because you gonna go through tons of steep hills! Up-down! But it’s all worth it. It’s crazy that this park and waterfall is so close to the city! I am not sure why I would rate it anything less then a 5.

★★★★★ — Daniel , May 2024

Great trails to hike on. There are 2 loop trails you can do, as well as ones that go straight to a road. The trail is easy to walk on, and it's not super steep. There are stairs in some places. On one of the trails, there are 2 'crow nests' that look out over where you've already hiked.

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.
