This 2.5-mile trail features a scenic route along the dike next to ditch number 6 on the south side of Pacific Way.  The trail begins at 30th Avenue and extends to 48th Avenue passing next to the beautiful Mint Valley Golf Course. This flat, wide gravel path winds between Pacific Way and the ditch that some of our local wildlife has claimed to be a little urban oasis. Easy access to some quick bird watching, or a good bike or dog walking alternative to busy Pacific Way.

Please be mindful when adjacent to the golf course.  Keep pets on a leash and remove their waste.  Please remain respectfully quiet while golfers are near tees and greens and leave golf balls where they lay as they may still be in play.
