Bear Creek Trail


 This trail skirts the boundary of Redmond Town Center, taking the rider through a semi-wooded area with occasional outdoor sculptures. Trail starts at Leary Way and ends at Redmond Way. Another segment starts north of the shopping center that is across the street from the trailhead on Redmond Way and ends at Avondale Way, and is reachable by street crossing 1/2 block to the east.
The city of Redmond sure loves its statues… many of which are on display along this trail.
