COAL CREEK NATURAL AREA REVIEWS
Excellent nature walk, following a small creek, with a pathway kept clear and maintained even enough that I've seen people with strollers on it for the first 1/4 mile or so. After that it begins to turn into gradually steeper inclines, providing a good variety of intensity the further you go. I usually am here for 30-60 minutes. In the evening you can sometimes see owls.
Very relaxing hike with gentle hill inclines. So beautiful with green lush forrest area and the sounds pf the creek water rustling and birds chirping is amazing.
We took a 3+ mile hike. Nice trails, nice rainforest-ish woods. Not very crowded. I recommend it. I *did* expect more about the history.

WEOWNA PARK REVIEWS
These 88 acres of well kept trails is an absolute gem of flat and steep trails, lush forest, water falls and all types of flora. Depending on the time of day and year, you can spot all sorts of wildlife: owls, bald eagles, deer, bucks, fawns, bobcats, mountain beavers, mother ducks and her clutch, and the dogs who let their humans run free and unleashed. There are two spots with a picnic tablas so it can be fun to escape there for lunch. If you like treasure hunting there is a geocache or two you find.
Great trails to hike on. There are 2 loop trails you can do, as well as ones that go straight to a road. The trail is easy to walk on, and it's not super steep. There are stairs in some places. On one of the trails, there are 2 'crow nests' that look out over where you've already hiked. I would definitely recommend these hikes to anyone nearby.
Come for the hike, stay for the scenery! One of those not-so-hidden gems near the city that transports you into PNW Paradise. Lush trails are some of the nicest maintained in the region!

UPPER COAL CREEK TRAIL WEST TRAILHEAD REVIEWS
I enjoyed the hike. Pretty easy 5,5 miles with so many trails around if you like to extend your hike. Parking at this side is really small but at the other side “red town” is pretty bigger space. I went early September that was almost dried but i would guess after some rain it would be even more enjoyable.
First time on the trail and it was awesome. Parking lot was full at 4pm when we got there. Trail was fairly wet as it had rained a few days prior. Popular trail with lots of people hiking. Beautiful scenery and not to difficult.
Great area! Natural, as to the perseverance of the community is obvious! The walking distance is a perfect means to breathe in the inland northwest.
