Short Trails in the Sandy Area

Tickle Creek Trail - This 1.8 mile packed gravel trail is an ideal off-road path for a leisurely family ride.  Riders can use wide-tired commuter type bikes and kids bikes as wll as mountain bikes.  The trail was completed by the City of Sandy in late summer 2011 to serve as a crosstown multi-use transportation corridor for cyclists and pedestrians.  It is designed as an easy ride intended for all skill levels.  This trail also has a lot of foot traffic, so please yield to pedestrians.

Jim Slagle Loop Trail @ Sandy River Park - This 1 mile dirt loop trail in Sandy River Park begins at the trailhead on Marcy Street (0.3 miles north of US26 & Bluff Road) and ends at the south bank of the Sandy River.  Great for a leisurely summer picnic on the banks of the river, or for watching salmon swim up Cedar Creek to spawn.  Most of the trail can be done by all skill levels.  You may need to walk the last short section where it drops down to the river.  This trail is also a popular walking path, so please yield to pedestrians.
