Great trail! Nice surface, mostly shaded, not a lot of travel along roads, I loved the protected bridge crossing and the availability of water the whole way. It was a lovely way to sightsee in this area, spent over 4 hours leisurely checking it out. And nearly everyone we encountered said hello or gave a nod. Thanks for a great day.

For nature, cycling or just walking, it's just the place

There are always people walking or biking. I enjoyed spending free time taking a stroll to decompress. There is a dog park located between Princess and King street. That being said, on days when there is high traffic, there can be a lot of dog feces on the trail. There are days I walked the trail before work and ended up with feces on my shoe. The city workers fixed a problem with the bridge recently by putting a net up to stop whatever problem was there. Police regularly patrol the area by bike, on foot, and sometimes even a patrol vehicle. There are homeless people living in tents by the river and that is a concern as there are at least 5 tents. Families walk on the trail, that's not something kids should have to see. The city needs to open a state/city funded shelter for the homeless. The only shelters are christian oriented and not everyone is into that. There are some great views on the trail.
