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.
