What the walk involves
Start near downtown Ashland and choose a park path beside Ashland Creek, or follow the city's map toward a longer uphill connection. This is a network with several entrances rather than a single measured loop, so choose the return before climbing away from the creek.

What makes this trail distinct
The creek, footbridges and shaded park interior make this a different outing from the steeper watershed trails above it. Verify the route and interior dog restrictions on Ashland's current map; park pathways and trail connections do not all have the same surface.
Before you set out
Use the city's walking and hiking maps. Dogs are restricted in the park interior.
