The Paris Creek trail is aptly named and follows the creek it was named after. This is a multi-use trail open to hikers, equestrians and mountain bikes. There are several very narrow, steep and rocky sections, as well many very tight switchbacks. When climbing, expect a significant amount of hike-a-bike (except for the strongest and most skilled riders).

Counter to what you may read online, the signage at the trailhead indicates that mountain bikes are allowed. In 2024 Evergreen signed an agreement with the USFS to maintain this trail using a GAOA grant and volunteer mt bikers.This trail needs to be ridden The bushes and trees have started to grow in and the area needs to be ridden before the trails disappear.
