About this facility
Cedar Ridge Trail climbs from the Ridge Road trailhead through oak woodland to the ridge overlook, gaining about 480 feet. The first half mile is paved, graded at less than five percent and suitable for wheelchairs and strollers; beyond the Overlook Junction the surface becomes natural and uneven.
The trail is part of the district's open space holdings and is maintained in partnership with the Clearwater Trails Alliance, whose volunteers lead a monthly maintenance day.
