​

Bluebird Nature Trail (0.22 miles, mulch)

This quiet, peaceful trail runs behind a number of homes, winding through woods between Cedar Niles Boulevard and 110th Terrace. As the only trail in southwest Cedar Creek, it’s often used in hiking loops via Cedar Creek’s sidewalk system. Note: the trail slopes downhill from Cedar Niles Boulevard to 110th Terrace. Refer to this map to help plan your hike.

​

Cedar Creek Sidewalk System (light blue)

Miles of sidewalks offer year-round walking and hiking opportunities while connecting neighborhoods to Cedar Creek’s trails, parks, pools, and other amenities. The general trail map will help you plan your route.

 

Cedar Niles Circle Trail (0.3 miles, mulch)

This trail connects several neighborhoods directly to the Shadow Lake Nature Trail. From there, hikers can head east to the Pump House Trailhead at Hidden Glen Park and complete a 1.3-mile loop by returning south along the Cedar Niles Boulevard sidewalk. Note: the descent from Cedar Niles Circle is fairly steep, and the return climb can be strenuous. Know your limits, and consider bringing your cell phone and water. Refer to this map to help plan your hike. 

​

Hidden Glen Connector (90 yards, mulch, steep)

This steep trail segment allows nearby residents to easily access Hidden Glen Park and Pond via the Shadow Lake Nature Trail. Refer to this map to help plan your hike.

 

Hidden Glen Loop

This loop includes a short mulch segment on the north side of Hidden Glen Pond (part of the Shadow Lake Nature Trail), along with sidewalks on Cedar Creek Boulevard and Cedar Niles Boulevard. It’s flat but involves several street crossings. Plans are underway to create a new hiking loop in Hidden Glen Park that avoids street crossings. Refer to this map to help plan your hike.

 

Shadow Lake Nature Trail (2.65 miles, mulch)

Circling Shadow Lake, this trail features diverse wildlife, native plants (many labeled), Hidden Glen Park & Pond, Lakeshore Park, two fishing docks, a secluded fishing hole behind Shadow Lake Dam, and scenic lake views. The trail includes steep grades, uneven surfaces, a creek crossing with stream boulders, and areas with limited cell phone coverage. Wear sturdy shoes and don’t hike beyond your ability. Bring water, a cell phone, and a hiking companion. The general trail map shows trailheads, feeder trails, and parking areas. It also helps hikers navigate the 0.33-mile connection between the 103rd Street Trailhead and Hidden Glen Park, which includes sidewalk and trail. Additional hiking tips can be found under the sections for Hidden Glen Park and Lakeshore Park. You may also refer to this map of the Shadow Lake Nature Trail and surrounding connections.

 

Southglen Pond Trail (0.25 miles, mulch)

This gentle trail features quiet spots for fishing and wildlife viewing, including two bench areas. It currently begins at the north entrance on W 114th Street, reaches the pond’s north shore, and partially loops around it. Plans are being considered to complete the loop. Refer to this map to plan your hike.

 

Southglen Trail System (paved, dark blue)

The general trail map shows the Southglen Trail system's paved trails that span several miles and are mostly flat, providing excellent walking routes throughout the Southglen neighborhoods. Most are wide enough for children on bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs. You may also refer to this map to plan your hike.

 

College Boulevard to Cedar Niles Boulevard Connection

When upgraded, this connection will include a paved recreational trail linking various parts of Cedar Creek to nearby schools, parks, stores, and regional trail systems—offering excellent access for cyclists and pedestrians.
