NE ~ Discovery Trail-Leverich to Nicholson

Date visited: February 18, 2006
Agency: Vancouver-Clark Parks & Recreation
Path Surface: Paved
Elevation gain/loss: 30 feet
Distance: 4 miles round trip
Ratings: Setting +++ Calorie-burning +++
Directions: From I-5, take the 39th Ave. exit in Vancouver and turn east. Turn left just before going under the SR 500 overpass onto Leverich Way. Keep to the left to reach the north end of Leverich Park, the third entrance to the right.

This paved path joins three different parks for a pleasant walk or short bike ride. It can also be joined with the Stewart Glen portion of the trail for a longer bike ride. (See December 27, 2005 post.)

From the southeast corner of the parking lot off Leverich Way, enter the path and stay left at all junctions to cross the park. Of course, you can add a bit more mileage if you detour at any intersection in the grassy, well maintained park. Eventually, by heading in a generally southeasterly direction, you will exit the park at 15th St. See
