Its your neighborhood nature getaway if you have kids on strollers, wheels or simply your kiddos are too cool to walk with you for a long time. It is a short, flat easy trail. With a getaway to a running stream of water that mesmerizes your eyes and sings in your ears. Unfortunately its too close to the busy city noise pollution so dont expect the full nature experience. Cannot meditate or get your mind together if you need P&Q.... Oh and pack some bread for dukes .I know you are not supposed to feed the wild life but they EXPECT it.. will fly towards you as soon as you get close to the pond and then you will feel embarrassed if you are empty handed like us...

Great trail! Be careful of roots that stick out while biking/hiking on this trail

Very little traffic and the spring ducklings are out inforce. Tons of fresh growth everywhere! Beware if youre on skates... Lots of roots coming up the rough the asphalt in many areas.

Nice little urban walk, with many birds to spot.

Were from Utah found this trail during the night on our day off. Enjoy it

This isnt so much a review of the trail as it is a review of the Google maps directions to the trail. Google sent me to a parking lot that is closed. There are chains up blocking the entrance to the parking lot. There are signs posted that say private property, no trespassing, violators will be prosecuted. Theres nowhere to park that I can find for North Creek trail. Since Im unable to get to the trail I cannot give it more than one star.

Unexpected hidden jewel in techno and residential area.

It’s kinda cool, now well taken care of but if your in the area it’s worth a stop. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get hear.

Had a great experience with our friends.

Cute trail. Not too long of a walk.Lots of ducks!

Not a lot of things to see, but still a good place to visit

Neighborhood find. Nice little trail on middle of Canyon Park business centers.

Great place to walk after work on on lunch break

Nice flat trail, mostly paved with spots for kids to put their toes in the water

A good trail for a short walk

Long trail, very quiet but you can find more people walking around 18:00 hrs, not too much to see but a nice atmosphere, its all pavimented so its safe to go walking, on a bike, skates or skateboard.

Great little place to take a walk. The trail has a duck pond, and several places to cross or access North Creek

A nice trail for biking, walking, or running. Ducks can be seen there often. Nice wetland area.

Enjoyable ttail for a lunch time walk through the business park.

Went here for some quick nature therapy. You park in a parking lot of one of the businesses and walk to the trail. The ducks will walk right up to you

Nice place to go for a walk. Youre mostly walking between a slough (with plenty of nesting birds) and office parks. If you work in the area or are into birds, its a good hour long break.

Beautiful trail with a pond alongside it, perfect for a relaxing time of feeding the ducks. ^_^

Easily accessible, short hike and great variety of water fowl at retention ponds

Beautiful sightseeing

Its beautiful during the spring and summer with lots of wildlife to observe. There are plenty of places in the shade to take in the calm surroundings. I walk the trail on every break at work!

Kids friendly urban trail! Easy access and nice paved path for bikes. One less star because it’s not very well marked especially at places where it crosses across the streets.

*My dog Sam and I started the trail in McCollum Park in the North*And we loved every minute of it. Beautiful nature walk / hike and there were apartment buildings within site for most of the first 4-ish miles. That might not sound too appealing to true nature lovers, but they were not low income sleaze motels, they were clean, well kept and aesthetic. We were hiking on a Sunday and it seemed like everyone was doing laundry so we could smell their drier exhaust and the smell of clean laundry and fabric softener wafted pleasantly. We walked to the sidewalk trail connecting or I forgot what it was called, them walked back to the parking lot. Next time well bring the bike and go at more of a trot. I would highly recommend this trail to anyone who wants a leisurely stroll, brisk walk or run. Very nice and well maintained. If you decide to eat at any of the picnic tables, be aware that the squirrels are pretty hardcore and dont scare easily. They came within 2 feet of me and my well behaved Jack Russell Terrier.

I raised my dog George there it was his favorite swimming hole for 10yrs 10months this place brings so many memories every time I come back. Little creek great diving spots for those dock diving dogs, or just keeping them healthy like a swim spa for dogs. R.I.P. George. We have 2 other dogs/lol kids

An urban oasis especially awesome for birding. We saw our first black throated grey warbler here. Lots of grebes, King fishers, wood ducks, ...

Peaceful and friendly trail.

Not as many trees but definitely trees ahead on connecting trails! This is a beautiful walking path which connects to a nature preserve. It also connects to Main Street in Mill Creek where there are lots of great shops, cafes, restaurants and municipal offices. What a fun place to live!

It is a nice place to sweat out and relieve your stress. The smell of trees and sounds of the birds chirping will calm your nerves.

Very short walk.

Great for humans and dogs alike!

Well maintained urban trail that hugs the North Creek and the back of various business park building parking lots. Good for biking and small children. Note that a portion of the trail does function as a de facto sidewalk for 27th Ave SE.

Nice, large, a creek, on a bike trail. But its in the middle of businesses in case you werent aware. So not much parking during business hours.

Many buildings can be seen from the trails, but otherwise a really enjoyable walk.

Great biking trail and an old bridge thats ideal for photo sessions. There is also the creek that has ducks, geese and every now and again you may spot some Nutrias ( giant rat like rodents) swimming around.

Nice place to wind down, relax and bike or take a stroll.

Nice paved trail through the business park. Very little use on weekends. You do hear the freeway traffic, so not a country experience.

Very beautiful place .

Pretty cool. Seen some river otters there the other day.

So much bird life here

Love this trail, pretty pretty

Loose pavement at various locations. Be careful when you are walking or jogging this trail, it a tripping hazard. Besides, duck feces everywhere at the trail by the swamp. Need maintenance!

Someone gave a description of 9.7 miles of trails. I didnt find these trail connections. It is possible that I was confused.

ODRUGS...DRUGS ..DRUGS...DONT COME HERE, ITS FULL OF TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS DOING METH AND HEROIN AND THEY ARE NOT NICE ABOUT ON LOOKERS!!!

This is a nice enough trail but is really an amenity to a very large business park. I went with my wife on a Sunday and it was almost deserted.

Lots of birds and bunnies. Nice trail.

Nice for a short walk or sit by the creek

Lovely trail! The boardwalk is really nice, and makes this hike unique. Very, very easy walk, and there are lots of animals to be spotted along it. Definitely recommend!

A nice spot to chill.

I did a quick search for a trail in the Bothell area on a visit over there. This came up and its a very nice trail. I went off the paved trail and enjoyed it immensely.

A beautiful trail for walking in a sunny day or in a rainy day.

We call this place the levy as the trail walks on top of it. Great viewing and if you pay attention there are beaver in the wetlands and I have seen otters.

Lovely trail with most of it paved. Several other trails branch off and lead to open fields where many groups let their dogs off leash. Lots of wildlife to see as well, I including: A beaver, Crane, and Salmon (during the run/spawning time.)

I call this place Georges Swimming Hole. He has since past, I still take Katie and Tony.

Not alot of woods. Mostly paved paths, but duck pond is cute. Heron!

Peace amidst traffic jungle

A very well-kept trail with diverse wetland environments to observe and admire along the way. Look for bunnies, herons, and salmon!

Amazing

Beautiful

Clean wide paths following North Creek that provide a nice place to walk, run, or simply get away into nature for a moment.

Im giving this area the benefit of the doubt. I took my dog here (3/12/18) and the trails were not well maintained, my dog actually picked up a huge thorn in her paw which I got out, but shes still limping. Maybe well try again after city crews have the time to clear the trails but I kinda doubt that will even happen.

Very pretty and easily accessible

Nice trail for beginners walk

Needs some work with the tree roots creating lumps in the path, but for sure, overall is a pretty well maintained route.

Great swampland.

Nice

Love coming here with our 1 year old to feed the ducks. Paved walkways & some off road spots to venture off to as well.
