March 30, 2021This is definitely an easy hike. No snow or mud now. It’s close by. Wonderful creek that runs through. You can see people’s houses on either side of the trail but I felt like it was a nice place for a short easy hike and a picnic. Good parking. A small playground and picnic table too. Keep in mind that it’s not secluded. But it’s still nice for being so close to people’s backyards
March 28, 2021This out and back should probably be rated at an easy level, there are only a few steep areas and the incline is gradual. If you are looking for a private secluded hike this is NOT it. The first 2 or so miles run parallel to the backyards of nearby houses. Currently the trail is good with little mud. My watch clocked the hike 7 miles with 1000ft climb.
March 27, 2021March 20, 2021Trail was in great condition. Only a few feet of mud here and there. Tiny bit of snow, but easy to avoid
March 9, 2021March 3, 2021February 28, 2021Aside from the length, this is an easy trail. Had some snowy ice to walk over so something better than running/walking shoes would be best.
February 28, 2021The trail still had a little snow, but it was manageable.
February 21, 2021Snowy in February. Only went 2/3 of the way
January 7, 2021December 21, 2020Snowy, muddy, icy but beautiful!
December 16, 2020Cold but nice
November 29, 2020Ok for a semi-suburban walk. Pretty hemmed in by houses on each side. Lots of bikes and runners.
November 25, 2020Great hike with my 72 yr old mom. Pretty flat. Hardly any people. Perfect weather 49 degrees.
November 24, 2020There was not a lot of sightseeing spots
November 17, 2020very beautiful in the fall. lots of curves. watch for mtn bikers around the corners.
November 17, 2020Beautiful walk next to the river. Not much incline and plenty of options for shade.
November 5, 2020Beautiful day and gorgeous scenery. Walked a mile up and a mile back, almost all along the creek. Highly recommended.
November 1, 2020Trail was very easy to follow. There is a lot of shade if you go early like we did, so bring layers. Beautiful fall colors on the trees right now!
October 27, 2020Good walk for a cool day. Pay attention to trails, it’s confusing at times,
October 25, 2020Trail is well defined - not much shade
October 24, 2020Great on a cool clear fall day
September 5, 2020I am absolutely baffled by some of the reviews here made by “pros”! Yes, sometimes the trail spilts of into peoples backyards but that’s your own fault for wandering off the trail. Yes, the trail isn’t directly beside the creek 100% of the time, but if it was I’m sure you would instead complain about it being too muddy and flooding too often. This trail is NOT crowded and you will not get run over by bikes. Overall this trail is beautiful, shady, and fun. Try to enjoy it and not get angry whenever it gets too far away from the creek than is to your liking :)
September 3, 2020Hot but beautiful had a lot of fun
July 27, 2020I really enjoyed the area. the streams and reprieve of shaded area. would do again
July 17, 2020Slightly technical for running with very less shade (7 am in mid July). But enjoyable for run/hike. Less crowded.
July 14, 2020Qatar path great trail run. Nice combination of up and down, some areas are rocky but most of it is smooth running service. Encountered a bear on the way back though and had to go the long way around!
June 20, 2020Started at park off of Killington dr. Several little trails but stayed along creek most of time. Creek had aspens growing around-offered nice shade and cool air. Crossed two bridges made of boards. End of wild flower season for wild roses . Nice gradual climb up to private road then gradual hike back. Went at 9 am to avoid the summer heat, only saw one other person whole time. Definitely going on this trail again!
