Historical Note:
Sections of the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail - from NW Bernie to SR 500 and from Fourth Plain
to Devine Rd - overlap the route of the Discovery Trail.
This hard-surfaced, shared-use trail offers excellent opportunities for walking, biking, jogging,
commuting, and viewing the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway. The trail passes through a variety of landscapes,
including open grasslands and heavily wooded areas. Most of this trail is flat, providing for an
easy trail experience, with the exception of steep slopes at the Bernie Rd. trailhead and
approaching the 1-5 crossing.
The trail begins (or ends) at Stewart's Glen, crosses I-5 to Leverich Park and Arnold Park.
The trail continues on, passing under SR-500, over Fourth Plain, past Devine Rd and the Jim Parsley
Center extending to NE 90th Ave and Burton Rd.
Trailheads with off-street parking are located at the end of Bernie Drive and Fruit Valley Road in
Northwest Vancouver; in Leverich Park, off of Devine Rd. south of NE 18th St.; and also off of Andersen Rd.
south of NE 18th St.
Discovery Trail, Stewart Glen
The first section is a hard-surfaced, shared-use trail beginning at the mouth of Burnt
Bridge Creek at Fruit Valley and NW Bernie Drive. It meanders east, through thick forests
and grass bottomlands, over two bridges to Hazel Dell Avenue. (pdf)
Discovery Trail, Leverich Park to Bagley Park
The hard-surfaced, shared-use trail connecting these two community parks begins at the NW
corner of Leverich Park.
It runs along Burnt Bridge Creek and through the forests and grasslands of Arnold Park, crossing St.
Johns Road and following Nicholson Road to Bagley Park. The trail continues past State Route 500 and on to Fourth Plain following
the creek. (pdf)
Discovery Trail, Fourth Plain to Devine Road
This section of hard-surfaced, shared-use trail follows the Bonneville Power Administration's
power line through
Meadow Homes Park and soccer fields, crossing 18th Street to Devine Road by way of Burnt Bridge Creek.
It then meanders south down the Blandford Drive canyon from MacArthur Boulevard to
Evergreen Boulevard. There is no off-street trailhead for this section of trail. The Burnt Bridge Greenway Trail also continues eastward along the
creek past Andersen Rd and NE 86th Ave to end just west of NE 90th Ave at Burton Rd.
