A green jewel in the heart <strong>of</strong> the city, <strong>Burnt</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong><br />

Greenway begins at the northwest end <strong>of</strong> Stewart Glen,<br />

at the mouth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Burnt</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> at Fruit Valley and<br />

NW Bernie Drive. This shared-use, hard-surface trail<br />

<strong>of</strong>fers excellent opportunities for walking, biking,<br />

jogging, commuting, and wildlife viewing. It meanders<br />

east along the creek through thick forests and grass<br />

bottomlands, and crosses over two bridges to end at<br />

Hazel Dell Avenue. On-street bike routes and sidewalks<br />

continue the route southeast to Kiggins Bowl, the Ellen<br />

Davis <strong>Trail</strong>, and Leverich Park. The eastern section,<br />

begining at Devine Road allows walkers and bikers to<br />

travel almost eight miles from Stewart Glen in the west<br />

to 92nd Avenue in the east.<br />
