Description: The Ship Creek Trail parallels Ship Creek from North C St 2.5+ miles East to William Tyson Elementary School. The Western Trailhead is located at the intersection of North C St and Ship Creek; near the Alaska Railroad Corporate Building. The Eastern Trailhead is located at William Tyson Elementary School; at the foot of Richmond Cir off of Meyer St in Mountain View. This tour ventures from North C St East to William Tyson Elementary School. The trail has a few minor grades; however, it is well suited to the novice user. Ship Creek flows West so traveling West to East is generally more strenuous. The trail is  illuminated by street lamps at night.

Connections: To access the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail from the Western Trailhead, take North C St to 1st Ave to Christensen Dr to 2nd Ave. To access the Glenn Highway Trail from the Eastern Trailhead, take Richmond Cir to Meyer St to Commercial Dr to Mountain View Dr. Mile 0 is adjacent to Davis Park.
