Very easy scenic walk with lots of Little hidden trails, theres some trash here and there but overall very clean and the birds are beautiful!

Wonderful place for a run, walk, and lately cross country skiing with the weather. Beautiful in the snow or in the sunshine. There’s a primarily asphalt trail with interwoven trails through the grass/wetlands. Various species of birds for birdwatchers. Neat agates, jaspers, and other rocks for rock hounds. The dogs loved running in the snow until the malamute accidentally plopped into a deep part of the creek and I had to lift him out. Great adventures

Great paved hike through stands of trees, meadows and creeks. Spotted beavers, wood ducks, and brown creepers. Only draw back is a little sewer smell in a few spots, but short-lived. Just beautiful!

Wonderful Walking in a Vancouver Suburb. I visit this park and trail on a regular basis. Close to home and no fee to park if you park at the VGSA parking lot. There is plenty of parking unless there are softball games going on when finding a parking spot can be challenging. Wildlife abounds . Everything from ducks, otters, beavers, eagles, hawks, coyotes, and many different songbird species. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR THE ALBINO NUTRIA ( UPDATE 01/2025 ). Excellent at all times of the year for walking and bike riding. Dog walkers abound. If you are a step-counter , walking this greenway trail, be prepared to be able to log at least 12,000 steps walking the entire greenway out and back . You can add another 5,000-8000 steps adding in the Cougar Creek offshoot trail , the Klineline Pond loop, and other various side trails. Restrooms are available at both terminal trailhead points. Handicap doable and recommended for the flat, paved, and well maintained walking path. Final take---Go! ....and bring binoculars!!.

Wonderful, clean trail for bike rides, walks/runs. Plenty of room. Paved on most parts. There are some side quests if you choose to veer off. Great trail overall and lots of spot to stop and enjoy the scenery along the way!
