| Saw this Cyber Rock ... interesting |
The North Delta Greenway Path runs from Planet Ice just off Nordel Way, to as far south as Cougar Creek, on Westview Drive, just off 72nd Ave. Right across the tracks to the west from the greenway trail is the Delta-South Surrey Regional Greenway, which runs all the way to almost the far west end of Colebrook Road, at the BNSF tracks near Hwy 99. There are a few places to safely cross the railway tracks between the two trails, but it is safer to pick one side and stay on it. Along with the private property of the tracks, there is also a creek that needs to be crossed, which can be very full during the rainier days (of which we get a few!)
Speaking of rain, even with the wet weather we've had the last couple of months, the walkway is pretty decent, with only a few mud holes and puddles to traverse, so rubber boots are certainly not necessary. The trail is up the hill from the railway track level, and well away from the bog. The only real water issue comes from the drainage from the upper streets and properties, so the occasional
mini-creek could run through the trail.
The scenery is great, with the creek running through, the occasional Amtrack zipping by, and the trees are full of birds. The banks are not too overgrown with thorns and brush, so getting the geocaches along the trail is fairly easy. Not much bushwacking is requires, although a quick scamper up the bank might be!
This walk can be rated as easy to moderate, and depending on how much energy you have, can be either a short or long walk. Remember to share the road, as it is a multi-use bike/walking trail. The walkway is wheelchair/walker friendly for the most part, but you might have to clean your wheels off before putting the chair back in the car!
