Reviewed 2026-10-22. State-produced Bellevue map expressly identifies the 1.2-mile Oval Track for both hiking and biking, while separately reserving unpaved nature trails for hikers. This is the improved oval, not a claim every unpaved Bellevue track qualifies. Fresh state detail page was denied; current posted restrictions govern. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
