River Place Nature Trail Canyon Trailhead

Very nice trail. There are three trailheads since the trail is in a "Y" shape. Parking along the streets. Free parking. A fee could be charged at the trailhead for trail use during weekends.

It is beautiful in fall since you can finally see some foliage colors. It could be brutal in summer in the heat. We hiked several times and logged in 10mils out and back counting every inch of the trail. Be prepare for elevation changes. There are a lot of steps which make a good workout. Trails are rocky so shoes with good traction are essential.

Great trail! but beware there are a lot of steps. There are a few scenic outlooks and many benches to take breaks on. I wouldn't bring small children, probably too much for them (and then you). No way for strollers. There are signs provided provided by a lovely scout, I believe his name was Wesley. Will do it again when im ready for a good workout ;)

It was more challenging than I expected and loved it! I hiked alone starting around 1pm to 4 pm (point A to B and back with a 15 min break) and there were multiple people hicking- it felt safe.

Moderate trail, frequent change in elevation and a bit rocky. It has small creeks in the path, which are good for dogs to swim.
The only drawback is that the neighborhood people charge 10 bucks to enter the trail.

This is a really nice trail with some areas that are little muddy but otherwise the trail is very passable.
It is steep up and down and I would rate it difficult because of that. That's one reason I like it and it did push my knees on the downhill.
There's a lovely creek you can dip in and I highly recommend it.
Give yourself a few hours to do this if you want to stop in the creek and enjoy yourself.

I truly enjoy coming here! Only 7mins away from home! I prefer being alone, so late night hikes are my favorite, especially when the moon is out, to see best! The hike is a good 3miles one way down to the creek and out through the neighborhood, which you can go through to get back to your vehicle. Be warned, the hills are steep going through the neighborhood hahaha...The stairs of this trail gives a great lower body workout! You will be sore if this is your first time hiking and/or working out.

I had the opportunity to visit this place last week and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well maintained place and the trail overall is not really that hard if you are someone who regularly hikes then it should be okay. Pretty long trail though and if I recall correctly it is around 5.6 miles or so for a return trip. Took my group around 3 hours total. And you can easily up the difficulty by running if you think normal walking is not hard for you. Overall I think this place is good for all people if you are someone into hiking trail + nature. I'd definitely love to come back again!
