SALMON CREEK GREENWAY PARK REVIEWS

The trail is well maintained and busy. The river and pond are pretty. There are activity fields for a variety of sports. There is an eagle family by the river that are neat to watch. There are restrooms, plenty of parking, and most of the park is accessible. My only issue is lack of shade on the trail, but otherwise, it's a beautiful walk.

Beautiful park. Great place for riding a bike or wildlife viewing. Klineline Pond is super popular in the summer for swimming. There's also a splash pad and a playground for the kids.

My daughter, granddog, and I just recently started walking this trail, and it is so nice. It's hard to believe you're still in the city.

WATERFRONT RENAISSANCE TRAIL REVIEWS

This is a great walking trail. It is a wide concrete path following the North side of the Columbia River. From one end to the other, round trip is approximately 2 miles. On a beautiful sunny day, a very nice way to spend an hour. During the week, no problem with parking, weekends can be a bit more of a challenge. You can also use the newly constructed land bridge to walk over to Fort Vancouver another really nice walking trail.

What a lovely dog-friendly walking trail right on the water! It looks almost like Cape Cod with all the shingled houses and clean beaches. I would definitely recommend on a sunny morning or afternoon.

Lovely stole 1 mile and a half one way from the parking area. You can also walk a trail from the historic burracks trading post. 4 miles well worth the walk!.

BURNT BRIDGE CREEK TRAIL REVIEWS

If you are a runner then this trail is perfect for you. Easy crossings at major roads - wide paved trail and beautiful trees line this path. Very long continuous trail - perfect for a good 10 mile out and back run.

Great place to walk a dog in the morning. Parking is easy and plentiful. Trail is paved and easily marked. Walk as much or as little as you want. Early mornings are pretty empty.

Very peaceful and beautiful park with wide cement path. Lots of wildlife. You can hear birds singing all over the place. Great place to have a picnic, take a walk etcetera.
