In some places it's a short walk. I walk a little ways, maybe 1/4 of a mile on a shopping path to the fishing area i go to. I had a hip replacement 3 years ago and I am able to navigate it easily.
It also loops around in a few places, so instead of having to walk back far, you can cut across to the side. Although it's a little steep if you do that, so not sure about your hip situation
