December 15, 2020As mentioned in the comments below, this is a paved trail. They keep it plowed during the winter, and it’s a nice easy walk. Only giving it 3 stars because it’s not a hiking trail.
September 20, 2020Beautiful easy walk along the river. Got to see the leaves changing along the river.

August 6, 2020Nice paved trail. Bit loud along the highway it it’s it too bad
July 31, 2020June 11, 2020Paved trail through town along river. Very pretty Partial shade lots of bikes.
May 13, 2020This is not a hiking trail, it is a paved recreation path through town. It does have some amazing views of both the river and 3 peaks, so it is a very beautiful path, but if you’re looking for an actual hike, this isn’t for you. Also, this trail is for the most part wheelchair friendly mostly flat with just a couple low sloping uphills. My husband is wheelchair bound and pushed the entire way.
May 13, 2020Very easy walk, all paved or wood bridge. Walk across the river the whole time. Really enjoyed this walk at night with the lights that made the path easy to see. Many people told us that it is not so rare to see a moose in the area, however, we were not so lucky.
April 4, 2020Paved walking trail. Nice leisure walk.
March 8, 2020August 11, 2019Great easy trail and can do in sections
July 21, 2019Great little trail for my wife and 8-year-old daughter and me. a lot of congestion around the outlet mall but I think we expected that going into it.
June 29, 2019Nice easy trail that is paved the whole way. Small inclines but nothing major. Follows the river so nice views.
June 11, 2019Our family was able to hike fairly mud-free at a time when everything else is muddy. Just a small amount of snow. Parked right off Borealis Rd. and took it down to the river. It was not a paved road.
