Good trail through the redwoods with lots of interconnected trails so you can effectively hike as little or as much as you want. Close to town. Many parts of the trail are shared with cyclists and you will see other hikers as well.

The trail has a couple of hard spots with a lot of flats and downhill I ran with a weighted vest. Pretty place. The Beith Creek Loop is pretty short. I kept left until I hit Fickle Hill Road and turned around. It ended up being a total of 6.3 miles that way. Fyi.

This trail goes through a range of inclines and waterfalls as well as easy to cross little waterways. It’s just beautiful and we’ve hardly ever run into anyone. The only thing we would love is better markings because it’s not easy to find the way back to the main trail(it’s not exactly a loop)

Fun trail, with streams, variety of redwoods and plants to see; ferns, salmon berries, blackberries, and a bench or two along the way. Stairs at the roadside is the starting place, near the water tank.
