Waddell Creek is a leisure ride that travels through a very green and lush valley. Filled with an abundance of redwood trees, this trail is heavily shaded. There are no big hills to climb and there is not much of a workout. Basically, it is a great trail to relax and meditate. I think the pictures tell it all! At the end of the dirt road there is a foot path to Berry Creek Falls which is worth the time. At the end, there is a metal bar that can be used to lock up the bike.
